Bailey's Cheerleaders

I signed Bailey up through our local parks and recreation for Special Olympics. He is presently doing track and field.  Today I decided to run/walk the track so I brought my foster son, Julian, and my son, Cooper with me.  After we ran the track, we sat in the stands to watch Bailey run.  Cooper and Julian yelled the whole time Bailey ran "GO BAILEY, GO BAILEY!!!" Cooper has always been Bailey's cheerleader.  He has always encouraged Bailey and celebrated Bailey's successes.  Now he is teaching a child who has never been around autistic people until he lived with us how to be a friend and supporter of Bailey.  It warms my heart to know that Bailey's cheer leading squad is getting bigger.
