I think these are zac's thoughts lol: "hmm...I really just want to go in...why can't everything be about drumming and water? Why can't I just drum and swim? Who needs school or therapy? No really...who?! Why?!" #drummerboy is also a #waterboy #thankgodhecanswim #everydayautism #autisminthetropics #ilovethisbeach #barbados

That's my son always on the move. Running off from as early as then ( he's about 2 in the pic) sigh nothing has really changed since then, we're just more aware and mindful now #everdayautism #autisminthetropics

Lazy day by the pool today Z-man left us to run around the house...I got up to look for him after a bit and found him and Cindy (the cat) having some sort of stand off..when looked closely I also saw that z-man's foot was bleeding sighh I keep telling him not to play with Cindy's tail...I guess she took a stand today. We made sure to dress his war wounds before our feet pic and before having a few choice words with the cat #idontlikecats #howdareshescrapemyboy #everydayautism #autisminthetropics

#tbt Favorite memory ever!! We were vacationing in PEI and went on the Ann of Green Gables Tour. We got to this barn where was a little band playing some folksy songs (yawn)...I wanted to move on but zac didn't so we stayed...we were at the back...then Eden got fussy so I took her out for a walk. I only left for a couple of minutes and when I returned there was Zachary on the stage playing with the band hahaha. He was really good and the band members must've sensed how awesome he was going to be...either that Or they were very accommodating. I don't know but the z-man didn't disappoint and the crowd loved him! These pics were taken by daddy while I was strolling with Eden...the pics speak for themselves...we stopped taking pics and started recording after zac took over with the drumming. #goodtimes #PEI #annofgreengablestour #zman #joinedaband #hewasonly2atthetime

I 💙 this picture. Captured it when we visited his grandpa recently. We hadn't seen grandpa in about 2 years. As soon as Z saw his grandpa it was obvious he was very concerned...he just knew something wasn't quite right. He went over to him and gave him a big hug, then he touched his face (I think in an attempt to get him to talk or see that he was beside him), then he held his hand...that's my Z - so loving, so so concerned...so compassionate. 💙 💙💙 #he loveshisfamily #heloveshisgrandpa #everydayautism #autisminthetropics

#Eurotalk Math App is currently his fave, but if daddy is around they'll play #JetpackJoyride together for a very.long.time. ;) #everydayautism #autisminthetropics
