It was originally my intention to document my son's days for a whole year. Everything that happened, and I would blog about it at the end of the night. Well... That never happened... It seems that life has gotten away from me, but I'm back, and ready to tell you about our Canada Day!!
On July 1st I decided to go over to a friends house. Our family is really close with their family. The mom (Amy) was my maid of honor, the dad (Dan) was my husband's best man... They are both Jonathan's god parents... we are REALLY close with this family. I turn to her for almost everything. Well they have a daughter (Lauren) that is a year older than Jonathan, and a son (Clayton) who is a year younger than Jonathan.
The kids all play together everytime we go over, but they don't really play TOGETHER... they just all play in the same area... Wondering why? Well... Jonathan doesn't play with other kids, he just plays next to them... I'm not really sure what was different about that day... but I saw Jonathan play WITH them, not just next to them. I saw him give Clayton and Lauren a hug (which was amazing, because he barely hugs mommy and daddy)!! He played with them, and had fun. I saw something so different in him, and for one day he wasn't limited by his Fragile X. It was wonderful. And on top of all that, he listened, and used his manners all day!! ...YAY!!
