About This Blog

Dear Grayson is an extension of a Facebook Page I created called Curiouser & Curiouser which is basically where I write about Grayson's day to day the moment things happen. Dear Grayson use to be just about the same way but I have fallen behind on keeping up with it as I use to since, let's face it, writing a quick post on FB is much easier than typing up a blog. SO I decided to change up this blog a bit and rename it -Dear Grayson- where I will write in it once a week basically a "recap" of everything that went on in Grayson's week but instead of writing to readers as I have before and how it is on FB, these posts will be written as though I am talking to Grayson. I am doing this for a few reasons:

1. As I just stated...This will be a way that I can keep up with the blog easier than trying to write about each individual thing as it happens since the FB page already does that.
2. Writing this way will allow me to keep a "timeline" of sorts so I can go back and look easier than sifting through several FB posts.
3. Each post I type, I am also going to hand write and either put in envelopes or turn into a little book so when he gets older hopefully he can look back and see how far he has come.

These posts will most likely be lengthy as a). I am recapping an entire week in one single post and b). I write a lot....plain and simple.

This Blog and the FB Page are about Grayson's daily life. The posts will not always be directly about Autism or the struggles of Autism and his C6 Deletion... just simply about his life.

With that said, Grayson's life if a curious one and he isn't the "typical" 4 year old boy so yes of course I will post about his doctor visits and anything noteworthy going on with his therapies and school. I will also post things about Autism that I am learning about as I am a "newbie" to the ASD diagnosis...so it is still a learning process for me as well but I do not want this page to be "formal" ASD page.

This is basically my online personal journal/diary as Grayson's Mommy and as his "Voice". Since Grayson doesn't only have an ASD diagnosis, he also have his C6 Deletion Diagnosis,  I want to share his story as a Special Needs kiddo that all Special Needs parents can relate to with laughs and tears no matter what the diagnosis is and a place where those who are just typical people with typically developing children can read and share in our lives and gain awareness.

I want to share the happy times, the hard times, the joys and obstacles and all the funny quirks and daily struggles that we all as SN parents have. You will notice that most of my past posts on this blog are all happy times.... that is because I always wanted to be the "strong one" and only post positive things but as of lately I have decided I will also posts about the not-so-good days that Grayson has because I think it is important for those reading to see ALL sides to this life we lead. It is okay for there to be bad days and it is okay to not be so strong on those days. I will be honest though, Grayson does not have many "bad" days (knock on wood knock on wood knock on wood) but the days he does are ones for the books but more than anything, I guess it would be MY bad days...the days where it really hits me that he may never speak, the days where I don't know if I'll be able to fully help him progress to a "typical" developing nature...the days where it just upsets me that life can't be just a LITTLE easier for him. I love Grayson and he is amazing as is and has taught us so much about life and being strong and brave...but on those bad days I just want more than anything for life to just give him a little bit of a break every now and then.

So anyway, this blog will be a little of it all, and a little bit of things that have nothing to do with Grayson...like animals (for those of you reading who actually know me, you get it) and just other random things on occasion that I may feel like writing about.

Enjoy :)
