Finding Joy in a Balloon

This giant helium balloon was given to Nathan on his birthday (Jan 31) by his siblings.  Believe it or not, it has remained afloat almost 2 months!!!  He has played with it by dropping it from the 2nd story loft down to the main floor and run back and forth up and down our hallway with it day after day.  Who knew such joy could be found in a balloon?

I even had to replace the string on it about 2 weeks ago because he had worn the string out and the balloon was still afloat!  Nathan's poor balloon is on it's last leg and has gradually started floating a little less the last day or two.

The joy of having a 16-year-old with autism is that they keep you finding joy in life's simple pleasures.
