Consuming Thoughts.

I am sitting alone in my kitchen in the quiet because Camden and Carter are both napping. Its nice to be in peace, but my head keeps thinking too much. As a Mom, it is natural to worry..As a mom of a special needs child, I worry even more. Carter brings me so much joy..That child is so special to me. I can't even begin to tell you just how special. I wanted him, even when I knew that he was maybe going to have problems, I WANTED him. He is such a blessing in my life and he has a PURPOSE. Some people may think that he doesnt know much, or that he doesnt always walk well..but that is not the case. Carter, if you would get to know him, could teach you more about life than some college professor. Carter has taught me to open my heart up to others, to love more. I never thought that I was close minded before Carter, but looking back- I was. Carter has taught me to never give up, to keep trying, to fight. Things have not come easily for him, but hes never stayed down after falling- he gets right back up. His personality is, let me try. Let me do it- on my own. But dont get me wrong, if he needs help- he will ask. Carter can be very passionate with the things he loves, ie: cars, swimming, walking. I have noticed how he studies things..He probably has 50 hotwheels and 1/2 of them he seems to know what they are...corvette (he says corbette), trailblazer, toyota, cadillac, etc etc. He can count to 20, he knows his ABC's...lately I have been pointing to many many different things asking, "whats that?", and 9 times out of 10 he knows...My son is learning...My son is amazing me...He is doing SO much more than the doctors once told me he would do. He is walking, he is talking, he is learning. And hes doing all of this while going thru surgeries here and there..6 surgeries for a 3 year old might not be a record breaker, but its a lot still. Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum and Hydrocephalus might he what his diagnosis is, but its not who he is.
