so April 2 was World Autism Awareness day, City Hall here in Calgary turned on Blue lights to show support...I thought that was really cool...Lexi has been doing really well since I last posted, she is really trying very hard to communicate with us. She has learned a few words...Adam, yes, banana, cup & Ginger. Lexi also takes my hand to lead me to something that she wants, and now points to things she is curious about in books and her surroundings. You can almost ask Lexi to do, show or get anything and she understands it which is so encouraging. I was looking at her while feeding her today, and she is so quiet when she stares into my eyes, and my thought was gosh I wish I knew what she was thinking, or wanted to say!! It breaks my heart that I can't read her mind! ...but we are getting there...
I came across this group Racing for Autism on Facebook and joined it immediately. If you send some info about your loved one that is diagnosed with Autism, they then to honor them, by proudly carrying their names on individualized puzzle pieces on our race cars and support vehicles. So I sent Lexi's photo in and got a personal note from the foundation creator Julie, turns out their daughter is also Alexis and diagnosed with Autism.
We all had a fabulous Easter and Lexi really enjoys the cadbury mini eggs...she wasn't sure at first but gave the sign for more as soon as it was done...
Hope you all enjoyed Easter!!!
