Have you ever wondered how the world came about? Did we really evolve from Apes, or did the world crumble into tiny pieces when the asteroid hit the earth and wiped out all the dinosaurs thousands and thousands of years ago?
Honestly.. no one is ever really going to know.. I know I don't. But I do know this. I am ME.. and I am living in my world. A little A and the Big ME!
My world consists of two tiny humans. My two shiny stars, the sparkle in my eye.. the headaches I sometimes get in the mornings (after Ive woken up to find I am quiet literally a LCM bar, minus the stickiness).. Lachlan and Jesse. They are my world. My everything. And no Ape or Asteroid can ever take that away from me. So a little about my world...
In August 2008 I gave birth to Lachlan by Emergency C-section. Over the next year.. Lachlan didn't quiet develop as a "Normal, Neurotypical" child does and so the process of helping my beautiful one started. On the 9th of December 2010, Lachlan was diagnosed with Autism and Developmental Delay. I thought my world ended that day. Of course I was very wrong. Lachlan was still Lachlan, the bubbly happy, sociable little whirlwind he was.. he just needed a little direction. And I gave him that direction. And i haven't stopped.
My world didn't end that day.. My world had just opened up to this fantastic wonderful opportunity I had no idea about.. I was excited!
Along came Master Jesse in February 2012. A little brother for Lachlan, someone he can share his life with. Brothers for life. Together. They have each other.. and to this very day.. nothing separates them. Jesse is a very gentle soul.. he believes he is older then he really is.. tries very hard to do things he just cant do.. but with a little reassurance he will get there. He adores his older brother.. and I know his older brother adores him just as much if not more.
We had a hiccup in October 2012 when their father walked out on us. It was tough, it was hard.. but the three of us managed and we are survivors. Others dropped out along the way. Each one a lesson to learn from. And learn from we did.
We have had an abundance amount of support from our friends around us, and if it wasn't for them.. things might have been different, but it wasn't to be. And we are here today. A little A (Autism) and Big ME (Mother Earth)!
This is my family. Us! This blog will be somewhere I can come and share about our day to day, month to month, year to year. I have learn't so much about myself, my boys, the world around us.. and id like to share the good the bad and the pretty... ugly.. with you! :)
