The past couple of weeks were, considering the obvious, a great time spent with my little family. This pandemic had certainly changed things, but we were determined to make the most of it. I have, for the past 5 years, taken off work to be home with my boys for their entire Christmas break. I was considering not doing it this year, now looking back, I'm so glad I continued with the tradition. We didn't do half of what I had planned in my mind, but we did enjoy every moment and made the most of our time together.
Today, was their first day back and I'm happy to say that Colin went back without a single tear and no vomiting! This is HUGE! For the past 3-4 years, this child has not wanted to go back after the holidays. I can't say that I blame him, because who doesn't love the coziness that the Christmas season brings, but when he gets himself so worked up vomiting comes into play and that means a mess for someone else to clean up. I hate when his autism affects others, especially the yuck side! However, I had to learn to let go & let God, because I can't control that side of his autism. Now, I do make sure they are equipped with a bucket, extra clothes, and wipes, but I have to not get upset when it goes beyond the limits of my control. And, let me tell you, that's hard to do! So, when I got word today that he did great I was so excited! This mama smiled from ear to ear and gave a big thank you to the man upstairs!
The past couple of weeks sure were fun, relaxing, memorable, challenging at times, and overall worth every minute being home....
