Let Them Eat Cake!

I don't normally stop to share things like this on my blog, but it really made my day. Noah gave me a Tidbit of Normal tonight!`

As yesterday was Noah's 11th birthday, I sent him off to his Scout meeting tonight with a homemade chocolate cake. When I picked him up from his meeting, he came rushing up to me to announce there were only 6 pieces left. He'd made sure to save at least one piece for Avery, and another for his teacher.

"Everyone really loved the cake, Mom. They all wanted to know where we bought it from. But I told them it was homemade and that you didn't even use a box mix or canned frosting!"

Coming from Noah, that was huge for me. His Aspergian brain doesn't usually slow down enough to offer compliments, offer empathy or show pride in those around him. He tries, but it's often difficult for him to remember. Tonight though, Noah was proud of me and the cake I made for him.

And I am thrilled beyond belief that my boy was happy and proud of me.  My heart sings!


(And I'm quite proud that he was so thoughtful for his brother and teacher, too!)


~Please keep our family in your prayers tomorrow. We are taking Noah to a new psychiatrist who has come highly recommended to us. I'm praying this doctor will be able to provide us with the help and answers we so desperately want for our child. Please pray this doctor will accept me as an expert on my child and his needs and that he will be open to new and different treatment options for Noah. Thank you!~
