Emilyism

Sometimes having a daughter on the spectrum can be challenging, overwhelming and downright frustrating.

I have been known to say that
9 times out of 10 I can handle our challenges with grace....but THIS.....this is day 10.

=)
it's true

At other times, having a kid on the spectrum is....

a blessing

FUN

and downright hilarious!

I love it when I get a glimpse of how she sees things. 

And I love that it is not the same way a "typical" kid sees things.

In our family, we have Emilyisms. 

Something Emily says that just makes you think.....and LAUGH! 

And Emily laughs with us.

The other day, she and I were in the car listening to a song on youtube.  When we stopped for dinner and were sitting in the restaurant, I said, "Oh I still have that song in my head."

She looked at me with surprise and said, "Me too!  Can you hear it?"

I laughed and explained what I meant by having it in my head.  I said, "So you have it in your head too."  She looked around the room and said, "Wow, it's almost like you can hear it playing in the room."
