Thursday Thankfulness
So another week has gone by and I have a few things to be thankful for:
1. Gus can be a pretty inconsistent kid in the sense that what appeals to him changes quickly. But, his personality is very consistent. That helped on Friday when his teacher sent home a not that he’d pushed another child. I knew instantly that something was wrong. Turned out he had strep and we were able to get him treated before vacation!
2. School’s out and we get to go camping! Gus absolutely loves the outdoors and we’ve all been looking forward to this trip for months.
3. Almost as soon as we get back, summer school starts. Gus is at his best when he has the structure of a school program. It doesn’t bother him to go to school in the summer - he rather enjoys it. And it saves me from having to come up with funding that we don’t have to pay for a special needs camp, which (to my knowledge) isn’t available to us where we live anyway.
By all means, please post some happy, thankful, thankfulness below! And have a great weekend!
That is a lot to be thankful for! I’m so happy you have a positive disposition as opposed to a woe is me type of attitude.
I’ve never been camping, so I am JEALOUS! LOL!
Thankful for today? That it’s almost Friday AND my parents have graciously made another deposit in my account!! WOO HOO
I agree with haute, it’s awesome that you have a positive attitude through all this. If you let little things get you down with something as difficult as autism, you’ll forget to be thankful for your great kid. Clearly you have your priorities in order though.
