Connections

I cannot even begin to explain how it makes me feel when Zak willingly interacts with someone new.  Being on the autism spectrum, he couldn't care less about carrying on small talk.

This afternoon, I took all 3 boys to Hobby Lobby for craft supplies.  Zak was wearing a shirt with a symbol on the front.  The young guy working in the frame department acknowledged it and Zak started having a short conversation about Zelda with him (and apparently I'm an idiot for not knowing it was from Zelda *duh mom*).  It makes me so grateful that my boys are so into "nerdy", "geeky" stuff.  As my brother and I were discussing last night over the phone, he said (in not as many words) people who are different are extremely excepting of others who are different.

     I am so in love with how unique my children are.  On a similar note, while clothes shopping earlier today, all of my boys (hubby included) picked out bow ties.  Jacob and Bruce picked out pre-tied bow ties.  Zak and Dameon got on YouTube and learned how to tie their own.
