This is going to be a lifelong job

My day starts off with me getting myself ready for the day.Then its time for my son.Lets start with changing his diaper even though he is almost five.After I get this done its time to get hime dressed which is normal enough.once dressed its time to brush his teeth.He has sensory issues so most mornings he squirms and kicks and fusses.Im beginning to think that this is going to be a life long job.O nce I carry him downstairs my wife gets his leg braces and shoes on as I get his wheelchair out and ready for the bus.only time will tel if this will ever change.

Maybe he's just been hungry?

Once in a while, Tiernan might tell us "I hungy" but most of the time it's a guessing game on our part. If it's been a while since his last meal, we'll just figure it's time for the next one. But he still isn't able to tell us if he is full or if he hasn't had enough yet... I just feed him until his dish is empty. So about a week ago, I started questioning whether his meal sizes are enough for him. Now that we have been giving him bigger meals, he seems to be sleeping better at night. Maybe he's just been hungry?
