Sensory Problems

It's always hard to see other children run and play in the sprinkler and Brandon stay on the concrete because he won't run on the grass. I look back and remember when we would go out on the grass and if Brandon fell in the middle he would hold up his arms and legs and rest on his middle kinda like sky diving. He cannot stand to run in the grass. We have solved it with using sandals but you can tell that he still stresses when grass or mulch gets in the sandals.
The bad thing is that clothes and smells get him too. The advent of the tagless t-shirts came right on time(Thank you Hanes) for Brandon. He hates tags in his shirts. Flowers will never live in Brandon's house( he makes me move them to another room) the smell distracts him to much. But he loves the smell of foods, he can tell you what you are having from a mile away. I love it when he comes in the kitchen saying "what's that smell, let me see what's in the pot?? "He just wants to know if he's right. He is unique.. and one of a kind.
