doggie halloween costumes are the best!

We had quite a nice evening last night. As a family. Something definitely more than rare these days. It's just something my boy isn't able to handle most of the time.

It started with a good day for him. Lots of dog scripting. He wanted to play a game with me... third day in a row!!! And this time he agreed to play a game I recommended, Sequence. We spent probably an hour and a half yesterday playing sequence and then checkers. It was pretty amazing.
Then we had doggy dress up time. Because when it's Halloween, of course the dogs get costumes too.
 
This was all wonderful. This definitely filled my soul with happiness. But what was even better than all of this.......
we all sat in one room, together, to watch a new show on TV called Speechless. And we all laughed. We all enjoyed it. We had 30 minutes of family time, together. That was pretty incredible. It feels like it's been a very long time since we've been able to do this. And we did it last night. And best of all, there wasn't any problems.

 He didn't get overwhelmed. He didn't get angry just from the fact that we were all in the same room breathing the same air. There was nothing except laughter and smiles.
And if you know anything about this new show, it's about a Special Needs family (ironic isn't it).... the boy has CP and is in a wheelchair.... and it's centered around all the craziness that comes when you have a child with special needs. And it is written in such a humorous way. It's real, it's raw and let me tell you how much I can relate to it. It is so well written and so incredibly funny. And laughing is good! And that is what we were all doing last night! It was beautiful.
