Sam has a neighborhood friend that is a year and a half older than he is. They have played together now and again but certainly not on a regular basis. 3 days ago, she came by to see if he could play. Of course, I was doing cartwheels in my mind! They went from our house to her house and back and forth for about 2 hours. I could not have been more delighted! All of a sudden, Sam looked at her and said "your shoes", meaning get your shoes, it is time for you to go home. She was nice about it and said see ya later!
The next day, they played again. She even invited him to eat pizza with her at her house. My husband called just to make sure he was being ok. They said he didn't want to go home. So funny!
This has been a daily occurance! Today, he got off of the bus and she was walking toward our house. When he noticed her, he put his arms out in front of him and started running to her. They embraced like long lost friends. It was so cute to watch!
This is so exciting!
Before Christmas, he was having a VERY difficult time because of being overstimulated. We increased his medicine just a bit. I think it has made all the difference in the world with him. He has had 3 "great days" at school in a row! That is a record for him.
Way to go Sam!!! I think I can do this!!! Today is a good day!

2010
So every year it is tradtion to make a New Years resolution. I am quite complete without following this tradition! I have learned that they never last anyways.Having said that, there are plenty of areas I need to work on!
Just as many of the autism mommies that I know, I have a difficult time balancing my sons needs along with my other kids needs as well as my husbands need and if there is ever anytime left over, my needs.
God has promised us that he will not give us more than we can handle. I believe God. And I am grateful for that knowledge. I do also believe that God has more faith in me than I have in me! I guess this is where faith comes into play. I believe that this is where prayer needs to be exercised. I also believe that He will send angels along the way to lift and bouy me up!
So this year, I am not calling it a New Years resolution, rather just a resolution to find some better balance in life. Feel free to remind me of this at any time while I am doing this blog! I tend to forget!
I hope this will be a year of great things. But if it is not always that way, I pray that God will help me and all autism mommies get through this challenging road we are on.
