Dawn's POV
Wednesday Afternoon — 1:45 p.m.
"All right, little monsters. Who's hungry?"
"Me!" Evan announced.
"Eat!" Ana demanded.
Maddox nodded. "Me too."
I crouched beside the pantry.
"We've got crackers, pretzels, applesauce, and other goodies. What sounds good?"
Ana pointed. "Crackers!"
Maddox studied the shelves before agreeing.
"Crackers too."
"Cheese!" Ana added.
Maddox nodded enthusiastically.
I smiled. Just because both children were autistic didn't mean they shared the same food preferences. Fortunately, today they agreed.
I prepared their plates, keeping everything separated.
Evan wandered over.
"Can I have chips?"
"Are you six?"
"Nope."
"Then you know where the pantry is."
He grinned. "Love you, Mom."
"Love you too, Bud."
Pink settled beside the table.
