New things.

A few new things to share:

• Jack and Kane play together for hours at a time now, either with toys or hide and seek - but during the whole time Jack is engaged and happy and laughing - all with his brother. It makes my heart sing, I feel my soul lighten. 
• Kane is SO smart. He is completing puzzles and pointing at things he wants and he understands how things go together. We are terribly proud and also relieved for him. He won't have to go through what Jack has. For that, I am grateful.
• Jack is doing very, very well in school and now when we play at Barneyz or a kid's club - he goes to interact with the children without being introduced or asked. 
• Jack is coloring now, he has never done this before or even noticed what it does - what he can create. He has to have a clean, white paper to get into it. No coloring books or lines already on paper - has to be fresh. So cute.
• A huge thing that happened last weekend was Adrian made contact with one of his other son's from his last marriage. They have been talking all week, and everything's changed. When we talk about moving back home, it's exciting and not stressful or sad. He is like a different man - like he has something to look forward to - hope for. It's made all the difference in him and I can't wait for us all to be together some day. Soon!
• Jack is learning new words every day, asking for things by request (no pointing or grunting) and also the stimming is finally calming down. It seems the older Kane gets and can play with him, the happier they both are. They are true best friends - again, SO grateful. 
• We went to the discount store for Halloween decorations and came away with a lot of stuff for only 10 euro. We've lit cinnamon candles and decorated the house for this coming Friday night when we take the kids out together for the first time. I think Jack will finally understand what Halloween is - we are so completely excited!!!
