Emma is 8 Today!

Wow...our little ladybug is eight years old today, and she is such a gift! It may not be politically correct to say this, but my life as a "spectrum mom" is sooooo much easier because I have an NT child who "gets it" and is wise beyond her years.

How lucky am I that she prefers reading history books over collecting Bratz dolls? How lucky am I that she, even at this age, is able to stand up against peer pressure? How lucky am I that she's always willing to help mom out with a smile on her face?

I am blessed.

Happy Birthday Emma! It sounds like Emma is a lot like my NT Natalie, who is 10 yrs old. We call her our ladybug too! I hope that Emma has a wonderful birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMMA!!!!!!! A may day baby! (We were really close to that)

I know what you mean but at the same time my NT that gets it is MAKING ME NUTS lately. ROFL. She is such a typical girl with all the melodrama. OMG! The kid has a bit of a cold and you would think she was dying. She is pretty good at the manipulation thing too. There are certain things I really enjoy about my ASD kiddos, ROFL>
