My wonderful nephew.

I've had a great day visiting family and friends today, leaving Dad home alone.

Had a nice lunch and walk with two close girlfriends.
Then went to see my nephew R.
He is very autistic, and its always a bit of a hit or miss as to how he reacts to visitors.
I try to see him every time I go to AK but it has been a while since I have seen him and I wasn't sure if he'd want me there.
He was in a great mood though and let me interact with him . He loves touch, and I asked him if he remembered that last time I saw him I rubbed his feet that he loved. He is generally non verbal but takes in more than we think. He came and sat next to me and let me rub his feet and do 'hi 5's'.

I just love being able to spend time with him.
He let me give him some hugs too. Once I started to say goodbye though he directed me to the front door saying "good bye" !

My sister-in-law laughed and said that once he hears the word good bye he gets people out of the house quickly!

She managed to get this nice pic of us.
