I loved the pictures - when we've visited my mum, F always loved the old lullaby toy too and at my dad's she sought out the familiar things she remembered. I really enjoyed reading this xahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17150848734530098204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045303808923827751.post-11845093247075505652011-10-13T01:54:00.315-04:002011-10-13T01:54:00.315-04:00Beautiful post.

It seemed an exercise in futility to exhaust us all for no good reason. Oh, the mommy guilt this has played on me. I am so, so, so happy for him and for my family that they all got to experience a trip free of crisis, that they could see him for who he is--even if that meant he didn't really care to be a part of the crowd--and to know that a thriving little boy exists underneath all of those symptoms and behaviors. <br /><br />I hope that he gets to experience many more trips like this to see his Gam and Dave and extended family in WV.<br /><br />Accidental Expert--you are a bigger person than I. Those crisis trips are rough. I look forward to learning from you!Amy McMunn https://www.blogger.com/profile/04777029840258598019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045303808923827751.post-71452900053808362452011-10-12T16:58:21.121-04:002011-10-12T16:58:21.121-04:00New Triberr warrior here - I am filled with admira...New Triberr warrior here - I am filled with admiration for your courage and mothering skills.<br /><br />You probably don't see it that way, you're just doing what needs to be done.<br /><br />I'm glad you were able to make the trip, and that it worked out that well, even if you did have to spend a lot of time at Target.Beverly Diehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392288953821757887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045303808923827751.post-66272966660503425682011-10-12T09:19:28.854-04:002011-10-12T09:19:28.854-04:00I'm so glad you were able to make this trip. ...I'm so glad you were able to make this trip. It may be self-torture, but we try to take a road trip camping with the kids each summer. While it is often painful and exhausting getting them, all their stuff and accommodations, in the end we always look back on these trips fondly.Accidental Experthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12076925529372019604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045303808923827751.post-274615002402885402011-10-12T07:15:04.872-04:002011-10-12T07:15:04.872-04:00Sounds like a fruitful trip, filled with growth fo...Sounds like a fruitful trip, filled with growth for all of you.
