Small Steps
My husband and I get discouraged sometimes at the thought that the boys will likely always have problems-- Peter more so than Nathan. Nathan's condition isn't as obvious at first and I think as he gets older, he will calm down considerably with his stimming and do much better socially than his big brother.
Peter's future is much harder to guess at. We try not to think about what things will be like too far down the road because it's pointless. We can prepare but we can't predict. So we do our best and pray (a lot) and cheer Peter and Nathan on when they accomplish both big and little things.
Small steps lead to great strides, so we wait and watch and take pleasure in what we have.
