Small Miracles

When therapy was over on Saturday and Colin's therapist was talking about all of the things that we needed to work on to get him ready for preschool in April (after one of the worst therapy sessions we have had since the beginning!) I just started crying.  I haven't felt that emotional in a long time and was just frustrated and overwhelmed.  We are in a "rough patch" so to speak lately as Colin hasn't been eating well and we have been having some behavior issues.  I am pretty sure that Colin doesn't feel well (we all are still fighting some sort of cold and congestion) so that probably contributes and in many aspects he is a very typical 2 year old exerting some independence.  We have been fighting some of the same feeding challenges and the other day it all just seemed overwhelming.  

However, as with any bad day, there is always a good one on the other side and tonight was that night.  I had an enjoyable night with my two favorites and although I had to bargain with him, I got him to eat a few pieces of a pancake and then of course his ice cream.  


We all know on this journey (or ANY journey for that matter) that some days are just better than others...

Max has started screaming a lot. He'll be 3 in March, we figure he's just hitting those terrible two's! Good luck :)

Glad you could see the silver lining. Hang in there!

Just wait. He will pick up so many things once he starts preschool. What else is nice is the focus turns from in early intervention "what he isn't doing yet" to "what he can do" in school.
