THE TESCO TAGS 😍😍😍

I just wanted to share a good news story with ye. I have a 5 year old daughter with autism called Kirsty. She is a beautiful funny quirky little girl and one of her favourite things to do is pull the red price tags off the shelves in Tesco. She holds them in her hand for hours and gets super excited. The latest one she has had since Saturday!! 

Today we couldn't figure out why she was so sad at home or in school. She just wasn't herself and because she is non verbal she couldn't tell us. I found the red price ticket out our back garden and her mood changed instantly. Within seconds she was smiling and laughing again. All over a little red tag. It's so hard as she couldn't just say " Mom, where's that tag I love so much !!" 

So I thought to myself ... "ok, we need a spare" !!! I went to Tesco in Mallow and asked the girl that was serving me if I could have one. She seemed a little puzzled but said she would ask her manager. She did and the manager, equally puzzled came over to me. I explained about Kirsty and showed her a little video on my phone of my girl with her tag, to which she responded " I'll see what I can do " 😊 A few minutes later she came from the stock room with a BOX OF PRICE TAGS!!! All different colours and sizes!! I was so touched. My aim was to get 1 maybe 2 and they gave me 41!! My daughter was beside herself. She had so much fun lining them up. It was such a nice thing for them to do so I just wanted to praise them publicly. Feel free to share!!

And now we have plenty spares!!

Lots of love from one very happy Autism Mommy and her daughter x
