One thing we let Ty do that we most certainly WOULD NOT allow the girls to do: Eat only pizza!
This is a homemade pizza we make twice a day- that's what he eats. He's consistent.
First pizza is when he first wakes up, regardless of what time it is- could be 7:00am or 12:00pm! Pizza is the first meal of the day for him!
Then when he's "hungry" he'll request another pizza. Sometimes, but rarely, I can convince him of something else unless it's dinner time. He typically does not eat what the rest of the family eats. He eats- pizza!
It's a pizza crust, pizza sauce, DF cheese, and slices of pepperoni.
I have no idea how he eats this so often- never gets tired of it- and enjoys it so much! Cut just a certain way, presented on the plate in a certain way, with 8 paper towels and a Giants cup of water filled just to the top of the SF symbol. Yep, want to come on over and take my job! It's a tricky one for sure- especially if you "forget or mess something up".... this is the life of Autism and friends.
But no way would I allow the girls to live off pizza. These are where things are just different- no matter what, of course it's not "fair", and all the other complaints I've heard over the years- but it is how it is! Because it's how it has to be for now.
So, just delivered the first pizza of the day!
A look into a special needs mom's everyday life of raising 3 kids- when one of them won't (can't) leave the house. - This blog was started 15 years ago. It is a window into our world and our journey to supporting our son. Who now has the capacity to not only leave our house (on his terms) but to engage in many other activities of life with joy! This is a story about hope!
