Finally time to myself!! My son will be in school ALL DAY!!



My Autisitic Son will attend school all day!! ALLLLLL DAYYYYY!!

I have waited and prayed for this day so long I can't believe it;'s finally here!! Lord knows I waited a long time to have my kids to make sure I would be able to devote myself to them
However, I wasn't prepared for how significantly considerable the amount of self sacrifice I would be required to give on a daily basis and the fact that it has taken 5 years for me to finally have some considerable free time to myself!!

Thank god their Father is a wonderful provider and is very supportive of our financial and indulges us with all the comforts we could ever want.  I truly don't understand how people that have less than $300 a month to live on do it!!

Now I find myself thinking OK whats next for me now?  Do I go back to school and start a new career, or do I steel myself for the next phase of motherhood as Nolan and Jordan are becoming opinionated individuals and are now fighting for the chance to sit in the front seat, what station the radio will play as we ride in the car, and whgo's gonna play with the tablet or my iphone.

( By the way if you're trying to contact me and I don't answer right away please keep trying the kids may have killed my phone with therir apps!)


So here goes nothing, I can actually have lunch with friends, and run errands without rushing right back, now hopefully soon I'll be able to go out when the sun isn't out lol....

From Infant to Toddler there is an adjustment

I am pleasantly surprised daily by how much my 4 yr olds mind is growing, and how he is able to communicate his thoughts, feelings, emotions and also help me be in the moment sometimes when I lose my focus. My son speaks of himself in the 3rd person which is hilarious to me! Earlier he was busy playing with his Elmo vacuum and pretending to clean the floor, and when he was done he politely came to me and said "I need 4 dollars Mom". So I proceeded to count out 4 imaginary dollars in his hand. When I was done he looked at his hand, gave me a very frustrated look and stated " I need 4 GREEN dollars Mom from there!" and pointed at my wallet on my dresser!! I knew then this is the start of me being broke!! Each day he says something to me that to me seems far too wise for his years, and really catches me off guard and make me realize NEVER underestimate the intelligence of a child and what they understand. Well goodnight the two warriors are asleep so too must I!!

How to overcome Problems putting an Autistic child to sleep naturally

PUTTING YOUR AUTISTIC CHILD TO SLEEP SO YOU CAN REST!! When my son was younger he would only sleep 8 hours at a time, and it was particularly difficult to get him to wind down.  He would run around from room to room disturbing the neighbors and everyone elses sleep as well. Many articles suggested using Melatonin, I myself dreaded the idea of how to get my son to injest a pill. So I considered other ways and found 2 that work well for me. I found a routine is pivotal when giving your autistic childs life structure and purpose.  My son loves water so I took him to the store and bought Thomas the train bath toys and then allowed him to play with his toys while he bathed which relaxed him.  Next after drying him off I would give him a relaxing massage while playing classical music, I have also found that cable televison has thse short films of the coral reefs with soothing music in the background and my son LOVES fish. I would also recommend getting a fish tan...

Mrs. Myers,Mrs. Marshall, Mrs.Scott. Mrs. Jett, Daisy, Mrs. Lester being single Moms working hard to feed and raise their families, some were widows some left men to raise their children alone becaiuse that was best for them and I respect that much more now that I know how truly hard that is.
