Do not let yourself worry about the future. Think only 3 months in advance. Your son is going to change SO much over time and there is no way to tell what he will be doing in the future. Work on the next three months…that you can do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8077151913672187133.post-89687224884079106852014-03-02T17:34:53.137-08:002014-03-02T17:34:53.137-08:00Loving your blog every single day from here in fri...Loving your blog every single day from here in frigid NY. Trying to let go of the guilt, the "what if" mindset, the feeling that somewhere in his infancy I caused my son's sensory issues. You are helping me see the good and stop blaming myself.

He has really started to share so much with us! He hardly said much at all besides for labeling items (when he began kindergarten). He is in an autistic support class but integrated into the regular ed first grade for morning meeting , etc. He loves it and has really come such a long way. The other children are so encouraging. He presented a show and tell project recently which entailed showing pictures of our family and telling his classmates that he goes to the beach on vacation and likes the boardwalk rides, and playing in the sand. He made eye contact and spoke loudly and really did an incredible job. (I was so surprised!) I was so stressed and nervous for him. I never thought we would be at this place.(this soon) My heart used to break when I would think of the things he may possibly miss out on. I'll do anything I can to ensure that he is Happy. I feel confident he will be able to do what he wants to do in life, but your right it might not be the certain things that everyone else feels are required for happiness.

So, while I still suck 98% of the time, I got a teeny bit better at sucking less when he spills his snack all over. Ok, I tell him - Clean it up. No big deal. He says, Really? and picks it up. then he makes a song about it - Clean it up, it's no big deal, Clean it up, it's no big deal. Do ya like my song, Mom? Of course, my love.<br />He is so used to me reacting badly, when I don't it is reason for new songs & celebration. Ouch!<br />This Momming gig is HARD!<br />Thanks for letting me know I'm not the only one.<br />Love & happiness to you, sweet Momma!

For a long time, I resisted taking my boys too far out or on too many adventures, because it seemed too hard or because I was afraid of the things that could happen. We've learned to go out, enjoy the moments, and be ready to call it a day and try again another time if it really isn't working. Love that you kept going even after one of those moments. cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07935923737206746307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8077151913672187133.post-43956009207566120872014-02-28T07:23:42.506-08:002014-02-28T07:23:42.506-08:00I admire your attitude and the way you handled the...I admire your attitude and the way you handled the fall in.

I know it is so scary and I need to stop. Thank you for this reminder to focus on today.
