Tomorrow is Mother's Day... I miss my Mommie!

Tomorrow is Mother's Day and as I scroll through the many beautiful photos of people and their mommies I wonder.  

 I wonder do they realize how blessed they are to be able to talk to, hold, hug, laugh with, kiss tenderly on her soft cheek, gaze into her wise eyes, feel like a kid no matter how old they are.

 Are they not treasuring every moment, even the ones when they try your patience like a child. My mom would ask me to come take her on an errand , and then have 5 other stops she didn't tell me about.

 What I wouldn't do to schlep here around once more. I miss her making my favorite dinner for my Birthday, and giving me an Easter basket every year.  I understand so much now that I'm a mother myself, and although I gave her everything I could I wish I could've given more.
She made it look so effortless, and I loved the nights we stayed up all night watching movies and eating leftovers, just us two, and I now realize she was probably up because she was up worrying about bills, and how to feed and clothe all of us.

 I miss her everyday and every time she crosses my mind I say " I miss you mommie, I love you mommie.." 

 To those of you that are blessed to have your Moms to hug, love and cherish, do so and with child like abandon because when they are gone, NOTHING and no one can fill the empty space they leave behind.
God Bless You and Happy Mothers Day!!

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...
