We took Greyson to visit my father’s brick in North Wildwood, NJ. We talk about Grandpop Wayne all the time, Greyson is constantly looking up at his picture on the wall, and I always ask him if he has seen Grandpop. Children can see loved ones, it’s because they have nothing blocking it. They have different distractions then we have therefore they are able to tune into it. We along with family has always also said that Greyson has a third eye. He will bring you right to it, right against him. If your child talks about past loved ones, always encourage it, never stop it. I can always feel our loved ones around, and I was always very in tune as a child. I guess he inherits that trait from me. Ever since Greyson was a year old he has been obsessed with the beach. We noticed around 2 that anytime we went he wouldn’t stim, was calm, and was just so content. The beach meets all of Greyson’s needs. I remember back then telling our OT how different he was there, and I remember her saying well looks like you may be moving to the beach 😂 Greyson loves his new hermit crabs. It’s the end of the season here at the Jersey shore, so we rescued these little guys to give them a better life. A lot of people think they can live in these tiny cages with no room, nothing to climb on, etc, We’re teaching Greyson that animals can’t just live and get by, they need to thrive. This is an important lesson to teach children especially starting them young. I constantly tell Greyson that we have to do whatever we can to help any animal in need, and that we have to be their voice since they can’t speak. He understands how important that is & I think he can relate since he also cannot communicate and is non-verbal. He’s excellent with our dog Savannah, she’s an almost 18 years old fox terrier. He constantly watches for her, always walks around her, & waits for her to decide which way she is going before he makes his next move. I’ve raised him like this since he was a baby. I was always worried he would torment her, etc, but then I though we’ll he won’t do those things if I always instill in him that that’s not acceptable behavior. He’s such a sweet boy and I couldn’t ask for anything else.
