Yeah! The holidays are over!!


WOW! I hate to say it but i am so glad that the holidays are over. Mason had a really hard time. With his Synsory Processesing Disorder, this has been unbearable for him. He has been off of his very structured schedule for about a week and a half, but really since Thanksgiving. I have been doing my best to try and keep him on schedual but it is not easy. Now he is trying to elimenate one of his naps and it makes him really cranky for most of the day. And to make matters worse, Hunter is trying to take only one nap also. I think he is a little young at 10 months to just have one nap but i can't force him either. He is just horribly cranky all day now. This all makes mommy really cranky too.

Brandon starts his new job next Tuesday and will be having normaly daddy hours 9am to 5pm. We are used to having daddy home til 2pm every day. Now we are going to not have him at all during the day and he will only see the boys from 5:30pm til bed time which is at 7 & 8pm. And i am gonna have to run all my erands with both boys. I think i will be staying home alot.

Mason has a OT therapist coming on Mondays for an hour and he goes to "play group" which is group therapy for kids like mason on tuesdays for 2 hours. There is about 6 or 7 kids and 2 to 3 therapist in these sessions. This is so benifical for Mason and he is learning so very much about how to interact with other kids and how to help himself with his own special needs. Parents are not there for these sessions except for the last 15 min.

He has come so far, but the Holidays have taken us so very far backwards. I am looking so forward to getting back to normal. But "normal" for us is still pretty unusual and intense for others. Oh well, I guess god knows best and i am just so very thankful for my beautiful boys.

Great family picture! So Brandon is sporting a beard now, huh? :) It's so great to catch up on you guys. I hope your Christmas was wonderful. Mason and Hunter's jammies are adoreable too!
