Of course, on the day that I was to start documenting all of the ridiculous and crazy things my kids do, they act sweet and perfect. I'm telling you, they KNEW. I took them out for frozen yogurt, angels. The whole time in the car, quiet. We come home, they actually take naps. All day long, NOTHING. I don't think I've ever had a day without a story to tell. I guess today my story is, my kids are amazing, and they decided to give mommy a much needed break. Thanks babies, mommy appreciates it.
I did however, get to be a part of something great today. I am a member of a few local yardsale pages on facebook (don't judge) and today someone was looking for an old playskool plush bunny. Her friends little girl, who has autism, lost hers and was frantic without it. I really wanted to help, because as a mom with a child with ASD (or a mom in general), I know how terrible it is to lose that favorite toy. I proceeded to look it up on ebay, and found someone selling it for quite a good bit of money. I asked her if she would take half of the price and told her the situation. She was so excited to help, and she even gave free shipping. I was able to help get together money from friends and family in order to get this little girl her toy. I can't tell you how awesome it was to be able to help and to see so many people pull together to do something wonderful for a little girl they hadn't even met. It gives me hope.
