HAPPY 4th of JULY!!
Today was very nice. We had a family bbq at our house. It's hard to believe we've been in here for 1yr already. I love this house, but there are so many things to fix and update that sometimes it gets to be a bit overwhelming. But AJ has a yard to run around in and a safe home environment, so it makes all of the house stress worth it in the end.
Yesterday I took AJ and Bryanna (my 9yr old niece) to see fireworks on the waterfront. Bryanna had a great time. AJ on the other hand had multiple meltdowns. Long story short I twisted my ankle trying to chase him down and catch him before he ran into the street. I did catch him by the way...lol. We stayed in the car while Bryanna enjoyed the free concert. But when the time came for the fireworks, he sat on top of my car and really had a nice time. Just looking at the excitement on his face made all those tantrums worth it. That joy quickly passed when he melted-down after the show and I had to force him into the car kicking and screaming.
You would think that after 3yrs of tantrums, meltdowns, and sheer "AJness" I would get use to all of the stares and nasty looks people give me. Oh well, he's mine and I love him no matter what, and anyone who has anything negative to say can kiss my you know what.

This blog will mostly be about my son who has autism. But from time to time I will write about me. A lot of times I find it helpful to write down my feelings when I don't have anyone to talk to.
