..A Day of Play...

I've been taking care of Alex for the last few months now... It's not exactly what you'd call traditional caregiving though... We play out scenarios that are anything but ordinary, to say the least... Today was a bit special though... I decided we would do an age-play session where I took on this nurturing role and he got to be little... Just being his big guy and making sure all of his needs were met for a while... It was both exhausting and incredibly rewarding at the same time... The feeling of him completely trusting me, looking up to me for guidance and protection... It's hard to put into words really... There are days when it feels like so much but then other moments that make it all worthwhile... Not sure if Alex will ever fully understand how this dynamic affects me though... But he tries his best and for that I'm grateful...
