February 15 - Sweet Anson

I was able to have some unexpected time with grandson Anson this afternoon. It was a fun time. Anson likes one-on-one time best and we had plenty of that. He lets me play with him and rough house. It's such fun to hear him laugh and respond to me. He can be quite a tease and got a kick out of turning the computer on and off and watching me deliberately over react to him. It was a fun time.

Anson is six years old - my firstborn's firstborn. When he was two he was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. His parents have devoted themselves to his care and treatment and he's doing well ...a sweet little boy. We love him a lot.
