off to a bumpy start

Oh sheesh.



Trevy has always been Mr. Compliant.  Happy Goes Lucky.  Happy Being Trevy.



But lately we've noticed a blossoming pattern.  



He's becoming Trevy The Opinionated!  I dare you to try taking his iPad away!  According to Mrs. Speech this is a wonderful developmental milestone to behold.  To mommy & daddy however...it's becoming a parental challenge!  Just when I thought I had being Trevy's mommy down pat too! 



So when Miss. CNA  May May showed up early this morning.  To drive Trevy to school rather than taking the bus like normal.  Because today marks the first day of Trevy's pre-preschool ABA therapy.  And his routine was turned on it's head.  By yours truly. 



He was having NONE OF IT!  



None of it, I say!  



It was absolutely heart wrenching watching them drive off.  Trevy sobbing and reaching for me.  Totally not grasping our desperate attempts at explaining he was still going to school.  Saying anything we could think of to help him understand.  His communication is coming along.  But still so far to go! 



Miss. May May called a handful of minutes later (the school is literally a hop, skip and jump away!) to say she had to hold his hand the whole drive.  But once in the school he perked right up!  And was back to Happy Hungry to Learn New Things Trevy!  And sent this picture to prove it! 



blurry yes - but I think you can tell he's happy picking out a book to read!

Glad things good.

I just love Miss CNA and her pic phone. What a great relief for you to see the evidence of contentment and happiness rather than having to take her sweet word for it!:)

These developmental milestones and "phases" are really hard to go through. When people tell me it's a phase and it's really great and blah blah blah I always think, "Yeah?! I don't care, I just want to handle it in a positive way and that's not happening!!! (cause I want rum!:)"

Hang in there through this new found protest and independence stage!

I could have written that. We are going through severe saparation anxiety and major meltdowns during transitions. Its quite quite horrible. I am worried about how much bad behavior she is learning at school.

No, I don’t know him personally

  I’ve had several emails today asking if I know Mike W. of Marissa’s Bunny personally.    Trevy’s blog was linked on her site.  Although it’s not now.     I’ve posted here and there at his request.  Because…well…we’re a community.  Us IS families.  And Marissa is wicked cute.  Her daddy has a way with words.  Also who wouldn’t want the world to know about an iPad give-away?    But aside from that…I know about as much as you do.    We’ve never met in person.    Our only communication has been cyber.    I’m a ginormous sap and as such would love to believe that all is right.  That the sweet, beautiful families who were promised iPads will be getting them tonight.  Tomorrow at the latest.  That no one has been lied to.  That the personal thank you for your generosity email I sent him on behalf of other IS families I’ve grown to love and was thrilled to learn w...

I was talking about you today

That's right. You. Sitting there glued. To the computer screen. Getting your Trevy fix. You who hasn't been able to tear your eyes away. The one who checks back here gobs of times a day. Hanging on every post. Especially the dripping with drama or funny posts. Because you need to either laugh or cry alternately. Just like me. And somewhere...sometime...somehow...over the course of these past couple years... ...you found yourself here. Reading about me. About my family. About my Trevy. And slowly you were drawn in. Until you couldn't help yourself. You were head over heels. Unashamedly addicted. Maybe we connected in a support forum. Perhaps we're old college friends. I know we have family following. Hi guys! Some teachers and therapists. Maybe even a medical professional or two. Perhaps our kids play ball together. We might be FaceBook friends. Or you could be a friend of a friend. Even a complete stranger. But to us... you each have a very special pla...

runaway

I tend to be a live out loud kinda girl. But sometimes... well...sometimes life is just so heavy. So intense. So overwhemling. That it brings out the recluse in me. Like lately. The thing is...I know it'll pass. It always does. And I'll learn something. Grow. Hopefully. Survive. Certainly. Because I have to. It's just right now. In this particular heavy moment. I would much rather run away to some tropical paradise and sip martinis until Jonathan calls to tell me Trevy's back at home. Happy. And seizure free. With a new head of curls covering the scar and bouncing around the house. I am a coward after all. I've never denied that. And I really don't want to live through this next month. Which is probably why my posts will be random. At best.
