a 180

this week at speech, wyatt was a joy to watch. most weeks have been wonderful....but I was having a VERY hard time with him a few weeks ago.

screaming hard. tantrum hard. possible O.T therapy hard.

once we went to the beach, a switched clicked in his head and he changed.

for the better.

 

last time i was at speech (jack went last week while I was working), he screamed bloody murder at ms. lee. I cried to myself. I was on the brink of breaking down. he was so so hard.

I didn't look forward to the beach. I pictured it being hard, miserable.

we got there and he was an angel. I haven't heard him scream since. maybe the occasional scream when Lawton takes something from him, but not like before.

he smiles more. he is HAPPY. he talked more at the beach, understood more, we just got each other.

I will not be putting him in OT nor do I think he needs it anymore. he listens better....well, he laughs at me when I say no...but we will get there ;)

but all is good. kids are funny huh? I was on the brink of crying at the end of everyday. I am sure there will be plenty more weeks, and days that are hard but I am thankful that this stage is over.

I have given up on his eating too. I have to let some things go and that is one of them. he will eat well one day like Lawton does. he will try new things one day. when HE is ready. I just need to wait and keep trying but not get discouraged.

sometimes in life you forget to breathe. I am trying my best to not forget and to just breathe and let go.
