It's ok.
Tags:Just have to get this one down before it gets lost amid so many other stories...
When I got home yesterday I noticed that Simon is saying something new. Something I have not heard him say before. He is saying to himself, "it's ok" or "it's ok Simon" when he gets frustrated or bumps into something, etc. It is a phrase that has come out of my mouth many times before. As soon as he says it he seems comforted and makes moving on to the next thing easier. Comforting himself. Telling himself that it is going to be ok.
He said it a couple more times today in different situations and again tonight. Each time it takes my breath away a bit to hear that from him. It is such a good thing to hear.
And I hear myself saying, "Yep, it is ok buddy. It is all ok."

That is so sweet! I am glad you are the kind of mom who notices those things! So many of us are in such a hurry to capture the "big" memories & moments that we don't stop to notice the sweet moments like that.

Ali what a wonderful thing. I can so relate to how important these little words are!! Madison always say's "okay" when she is in a prediciment....just as we say to her.
I recently posted an autism layout in my gallery at 2Peas that I am going to link for you.....I know you will understand how important it is to me.
Hugs,
