Day 21 – Happy Easter!
In general, today has been a pretty rough one for us. Lots of off
behaviors, some out of character rudeness, whining, arguing, noises. I’m not sure if its all the fuss of the day –
the routine is off, folks are in and out, weird food, there are brightly
colored eggs to find and pretty new things to play with – who knows? I sure don’t
always. All this leads to lots of
corrections, directives, crying, and frustration - for everyone. Even in all the NOISE of the day there are
still glimmers of hope – what this day is truly all about anyway. During a brief reprieve from the growling
Baby Girl was happily sidewalk chalking while I sat and breathed in the
beautiful afternoon. Dad gave the
warning that he was going to turn on the loud compressor in the garage and
before I could do a thing to protect her she hopped up, flew inside yelling, “I’ll
be back”. Before I knew it she was back
on the driveway, sidewalk chalking like nobody’s business. The compressor was loudly chugging away but SHE
had protected herself with her sister’s old beats. SHE had protected herself. HOPE. #30facesofautism
