This year we have adopted our little miracle From an orphanage in Ukraine, This will be his first proper Christmas and I am really stressing myself out in what to get him.
I will give you the basics, Our prince is 8 years old and is Blind, Autistic and Non verbal. He likes to throw things on the floor, open and close doors and is currently learning how to play with toys, in the orphanage he didn't have a lot of opportunities to play and explore toys. At this moment in time he explores everything by mouth and I am extremely worried about giving him things too small that could result in him Choking. He also eats blended food and doesn't like sweet things however he loves porridge.
Our little Sunshine is 8 years old but developmental he is that of a 12 month old so far I have brought him some rattles and a couple of light up balls, we are waiting to see a specialist because there is a possibility he can see light. I don't want to overwhelm him by getting lots but I want to get him enough for a stocking and some gifts under the tree.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated,
Thankyou.
