Because he would rather skip than walk down the street... and he's so fast that I have to run to catch up...
Because he gives the best hugs, pulls my cheek down to his lips telling me "Big kiss, big kiss for Mommy" and then plants one on me with a loud smacking sound...
Because every day when I meet his bus, he turns around once we're on the sidewalk to wave and yell "Goodbye, Deba, see you tomorrow!" and his stone-faced bus driver flashes him the brightest smile you've ever seen...
Because he draws people with "all the parts" and his drawings breathe with life:
 |
| It took Jake 3 minutes to do this sketch of "Mommy" as he was in a hurry to play |
 |
| Yes, that's Timmy & his fairies from TV's "Fairly Odd Parents" |
 |
| This IS our cat's expression when Jake's around: anxious |
 |
| Jake didn't get to finish the body, but I love Bruce Wayne's face here |
I tell you: "If you've seen one kid with autism... you've seen ONE kid with autism."
Look at my Jacob with fresh eyes, anew every day, and every day he will astound you.
As he does me,
as
he
does
me.

I'm linking up to Shell's Pour Your Heart Out & Maxabella's I'm grateful for... because I am so grateful for my wonderful autistic son Jacob.
