Sometimes I write on my blog so I can remember when I re-read in the future. I love reading my old blog posts about my kids.
This Morning:
Proud Mommy moment. I know it's not a big deal to some but I woke this morning to my son sleeping on the couch. I'm a mom so the first thing that came to my mind was that his night light must have been out. I checked. It was. My son confirmed this for me this morning. The proud part comes with knowing that this shows how he can independently decide what is best for him on his own without waking me at 2:30 in the morning when he finally went to bed. As a child on the spectrum I am never sure what he really understands and always feel like I need to map it all out for him. I love that he did this on his own and I couldn't wait for him to wake this morning so I could tell him.
Yesterday:
My daughter came to me with the measuring stick after I told her that I thought she grew overnight to show me that she indeed has surpassed the measuring stick. UGH...the worst stick ever. I asked my husband to give me a piece of wood so I could measure the kids back when my son was turning one. My son passed the stick about 3 years ago and now my daughter as well. I guess I will have to attach another stick to it myself.
That's so neat that your son figured out what to do all on his own. I totally understand your excitement. When my son finally took care of his own bloody nose in the middle of the night without waking me up, I was so pleased.
