I'm glad you're here!

I've finally decided to give blogging a shot. Bear in mind, I've never done this before, so it may take me a while to get the hang of it. First, I'll introduce myself. My name is Megan I'm a mid-30's Mom residing in a little town outside Louisville. I have a soon to be 5 yr old son we'll call "B". He's the reason for this blog. He inspired the name, afterall. He loves to come up to you and say "So glad you're here today". Sure he may be just repeating something said to him at school/daycare on a daily basis, but I like to think that's his way of telling you he's happy to be doing what he's doing, and around you. He has lots of learned phrases that he loves to say at any time. Sometimes they make sense given the context and sometimes it's just something he's thinking in his head. Yes, it can get old, but I'm just glad that he's talking. It's been a long journey just getting him to this point.
B was diagnosed with Autism at 3.5 yrs old. We'd actually had him in Early Intervention programs through the state since he was 18 months but it really took us that long to come to the conclusion that something was just not right and we needed a definitive answer. Since this his diagnosis has been a longer journey for me as a parent. He's a mostly happy kid who loves tv, playing outside and just being a kid! His diagnosis was harder for me to accept but we've embraced it. I read constantly about Autism and definitely have my own ideas about it based on a lot of science. You wont find conspiracy theories here.  Just some funny stories that sometimes I can't even believe they're happening in our own house. I try to look back and laugh at most things..it's my saving grace.
So I hope you'll stick around and I really hope that I'll entertain you!
