Sometime rainy days can be full of sunshine!

Yesterday seemed to be a typical morning in our household. Each child was bountiful with energy and greeted me with a good morning hug. I fixed bacon and oatmeal for breakfast. While we were eating I read our history lesson about Clovis. Then the kids followed me to look up a grandfather in the genealogy information. We scurried around. "OK kids,teeth, hair, cloths and off we go".
We stopped at the supermarket to get diapers for my third son and off to speech therapy we went.

On the way to speech everyone was content with their own thoughts wondering through their mind, like streams running down mountains. Then my third son (Autistic) yelled out, "mama its a doggie". My mouth hung open with disbelief. He abruptly added, "its a car". This was a completely unprompted comment through his desire and ability to communicate with us. I suddenly remembered his first cry as a baby. That little sound that let me know he had safely arrived. His sweet cherub voice made my heart skip a beat and brought tears to my eyes.

Yesterday was full of hope and success with all my children . I believe when are given days with milestones they strengthen us for any storms that lie ahead. Thank god for our blessings and the sweet sounds we hear from our babies.
