Today as I was waiting for the monkey to finish his OT therapy, I saw how the other kids were greeting their moms with roses and pictures. And I just love these little gifts. I loved it when my daughter made them and I love them when the monkey makes them.

But lately he just doesn’t want participate in anything. He didn’t want to take his graduation picture, he didn’t take his class picture, we don’t work on Easter projects, or macaroni projects, or painting, or any other creative task. He simply refuses.
