On Sunday we brought Mae to her first practice with TOP soccer. A few days ago when I told Sam about it he expressed concern, "What about her autism?" I explained TOP soccer is for kids like Mae.

The event organizer asked Mae if she was excited to play soccer. I cried happy tears when she threw her arms in the air and exclaimed, "I play with the team!" We loved watching her on the field with the two college-aged mentors assigned to her. She laughed, hummed and connected with the other players. It was fun seeing her so thrilled and independent. All the while she was under the watchful eyes of her brother.
