my boy woke up surprisingly happy
he didn't do his "usual routine" which is a pretty set in stone rigid routine..... but chose to engage with me
And he was back to some scripts..... we talked dog
s- and he has a very particular script that if we stick to- he's pretty happy, smiley, and engaging
Then he asked me to make pancakes. okay-
and even better, no behaviors and I was able to make pancakes
Then (yes it continues..... this is a lot of time he is continuing to be happy :)) while we ate pancakes I made, we watched a movie together - hmmm not a routine morning by any account
But it was certainly a nice change of pace compared to how things have been lately....... when he is happy and smiling, and also wanting engagement that just means his brain is calm enough for him to be present and in the moment- and I was right there with him
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!
