A look into a special needs mom's everyday life of raising 3 kids- when one of them won't (can't) leave the house. - This blog was started 15 years ago. It is a window into our world and our journey to supporting our son. Who now has the capacity to not only leave our house (on his terms) but to engage in many other activities of life with joy! This is a story about hope!

An entire day without......... and then waffles?
Here is the sleep picture of the day:
..........................................................
Yesterday was an entire day without behaviors. Not hitting, no throwing, no kicking, no screaming. A day that was quite nice, a day that was calm. A day that was filled with smiles, kindness, and engagement. This was day 11 of air tight, zipped bubble. And even though he was up at 2:30am until 4:30 am kind of manic- he ultimately went back to sleep. And then at 8:30am I could hear almost like a quiet little mouse. Creeping about, closing cupboards. Opening the fridge, the dishwasher door. What was going on? Who was in the kitchen? I was tired for sure- when you're up from 2:30am to 4:30 am, even just pretending to sleep (but you really can't knowing your child is wide awake doing who knows what??) But what is going on now? I finally muster up the strength to open my eyes and go check. Know what I found? My son, making waffles for breakfast for everyone. Yep, that's my boy! Making waffles to surprise us all when we get up. Pretty amazing.
