But my biggest excitement today is that RYAN LIKES ICE! :)
All kids on the autism spectrum have their own peculiarities, and Ryan is no exception. As he grows and experiences more, the less I see the autistic streaks. For example, Ryan has hated ice all of his 6.5 years. I don't know if it's the look, feel, or sound...but he has thrown monumental fits about getting ice in his cup. Well, Ryan basically trained us to remember that he was NEVER to get ice in his cup.
As Ryan was preparing to go to Cub Scout Day Camp, Wayne told him he had to take a water bottle~complete with really cool straw~and he needed to fill it with ice. To our surprise, Ryan didn't have a meltdown; he just kinda whined. We filled his new bottle with ice and water, showed him how to open up the straw part, and he took a sip. HE NOW LOVES ICE. Go figure.
Thank you, Lord, for those little things in life!
