THIS ONE'S FOR JANICE

Being autistic, Rylee has some rather quirky behaviours and some real weaknesses in the fundamental areas of everyday life. However, she has some absolutely outrageous strengths that astound us time and time again. Along with being a fantastic artist, she can memorize the weirdest (to us) stuff. Once she gets locked onto a specific subject, she has to learn everything about it...there's no stopping her. For the past month, the topic has been molecules. She and Big Daddy will sit for very long periods of time, perusing the internet for pictures of molecules while she names them. Honestly, if you're learning the periodic tables at the age of 5, I really don't think there's enough brain power left over to be able to grasp basics. lol Anyway....

This past week while Little Piddle and I were in the middle of some serious and somewhat smelly potty business, Ry shuffles in to see what was going on. She takes one big sniff into the air and calmly walks back into the hallway, throwing these words over her shoulder..."yup, that's methane gas." Yup, that's our Ry Ry!
