Tim is not an only child. He's the oldest of four, with two younger sisters and a baby brother. The older sister, Miko is a very energetic almost ten year old. She tends to have a lot of patience with Tim and their youngest sister, Suzi, who is also autistic. This year they started a new school, and Miko made tons of friends. So sometimes she wants to get together with them. Usually, this doesn't interest Tim, but today she and a friend wanted to go shopping for matching outfits for "twin day" at their school. I had already resigned to taking Suzi, because she was very clingy and kept hugging me and saying "go in the car?" So when Tim demanded to be included, I was inwardly groaning. Due to a mis-communication with Cameron (Daddy) Suzi was already waiting to get in the car, and i had to make a quick decision. We were going to have a "girls night out - plus Tim".

Needless to say, Tim was bored, (so was Suzi) as the girls shopped.. and shopped, and shopped. They tried on what seemed like every pair of shoes in the store. They were shopping machines. Tim told me when we were finally headed for check-out, "We made a new friend today! Wow!"
So I guess he still had fun. Miko certainly did! Suzi was still smiling when we got home. Me? I just needed to get to the bathroom, fast!

| The girls had a blast. "Twins" indeed. |
