Autism

Our oldest son Maddox has Autism.  This was so hard for me to say for so long.  In the past month I finally said it on social media.  Our little 3 year old.  

I want to do everything I can to help him gain life skills.  He's such a happy boy with a huge smile.  Each new thing he does is so amazing to me.  I want to share these moments with everyone.  I want to share these moments with the world.  

Although he doesn't speak yet, he speaks in his own way.  His hugs and kisses tell me how much he loves me.  His eyes and smile show his happiness.  His body language speaks volumes.  

What comes so simple for other is a struggle for our son Maddox.  He doesn't understand how to use a fork and spoon.  Everyday as I feed Maddox or use hand over hand with utensils I'm reminded how much I take for granted.  

Maddox hits and kicks me in the face almost everyday and I can't help but hug him and tell him how much I love him.  I love Maddox with all of my heart.  My little boy who they thought would be stillborn is alive and kicking.  

Being Maddoxs mommy is a beautiful gift.
