Amazing {clarity}.

This is a post mainly for myself to remember as I don't document these moments enough.  As a lot of you know, we did embark on the biomedical train with G in hopes he'd have freedom from his Autism.  Not everything we've tried has worked but other things have and he continually surprises us.  His speech has always been delayed but in a lot of areas he is sitting within normal ranges now when tested and that is an AMAZING feeling.  He still struggles with expressive language but every now and again he figures out what he's trying to say.  Anyway, tonight G and I ran to Target to buy a birthday gift for his buddy Connor's party tomorrow.  On the way home, we rolled the windows down as it was still 75 degrees tonight cause it just felt too good not to.  As we got out of the high beams of the city lights and up into our quiet, sleepy town that does not allow for any up lighting G belts out, "Mom, look at all the stars, I see them, there's hundreds of them!".  I poked my head out my window and gazed up and smiled.  I then told him that there is an old saying that goes, "Star light, Star bright, first Star I see tonight.  I wish I may, I wish I might, have this wish I wish tonight".  I then explained that you then make a wish on that first star just like when you blow out your birthday candles.  He then went silent for a minute and he said, "You know what we should call that first star?  The Candle Star".  I couldn't help but smile more and I told him I thought it was a perfect way to describe that first star in the sky at night, the "Candle Star".
