It's hard to imagine what our life would have been like without the iThingies .... they burst onto the world just as Kaylia's autism really began to impact on our daily life. Coping with ASD means compromise in so many ways. I think I'd be bored out of my brain if I didn't have this "handful of distraction".
Yesterday during therapy, there was a 'bloggable moment' ..... Kaylia is often given the choice of which activity she'd like to do next. Yesterday Alison said "What do you want now?" .... and her response "HAPPY!" ..... meaning she wants to be happy. In Kaylee-speak this means "I'm feeling really happy right now". Isn't it good.
It's such a satisfying feeling to know that over the past few years we have brought Kaylia from a life of stress and emotional pain ..... to her life today ..... where she's a bubbly, happy child who dances around the house with pleasure.

There's been an email from Chris and Lara .... they're in the Pilbara right now .... so they're almost at the end of their travels.
