He gets loonies & toonies confused sometimes, so he's invented new currency, the toonieloonie. (Lolli is my grandma name because he already has a Nana and Grandma)
It’s the best! Went with my 4 year old grandson to the local fair last weekend and he went on rides for the first time. He had so much fun! Such a good day.

He was diagnosed with Autism just before his third birthday, my son and his wife have had a lot of struggles and grief with this situation since diagnosis. The wait list for Autism Services in Ontario is over 60,000 children long, so the prospect of any significant help for him is slim to none. He absolutely loved his first year of school and has made a lot of progress, though he will unlikely ever be able to live independently. He’s just now starting to call me Gramma regularly and it’s just the best thing ever. He’s such a sweet happy little boy. The absolute light of my life.
