Three years ago I wrote a post entitled "I want my seat belt mommy!" Read it before you continue with this post.
Great post right? Bitter sweet to read three years later. I had forgotten about the post. I had forgotten about this blog! I have been so very busy with my kids. But this morning I decided to troll my own forgotten blog. I read a few posts and laughed. Then I came to "I want my seat belt".
I was right you know. It all mattered. Allowing him to sit and scream for 3 hours and not putting him back in the car actually worked. Just as not driving the same way home or to the store as he screamed in the back seat. It all worked.
He isn't the same little boy anymore. He is six years old and he is amazing. He was always amazing. But he doesn't have the ridged rules of operation he used to have. Things don't have to always be the same. We do different around here.
I am different then I used to be. It doesn't affect me anymore when people say they never would have guessed there was anything different about him. Today I smile and say thank you. It is a testament to the hard work we put in to him.
It is a testament to the hard work he did himself.
