Tonight's post is just for me. I just want to be sure I don't forget this evening...
Our summer's had a rocky start. First G got pneumonia, then I got bronchitis. For about 3 weeks, we've been SICK. We've done nothing fun. Nothing that says 'summer'. Nothing but lay on the couch and try to recover.
Over the last few days, I've started to feel almost human again so we've made a few trips out to run errands and such. Today, we jumped into summer vacation with both feet! We spent a few hours at the pool this morning and then went out for lunch. We cleaned a bit this afternoon while G waited anxiously for a new Disney movie that had its premiere tonight. My boy loves his musicals, so we pushed back bed time in order to see Teen Beach Movie 2. We made ice cream sundaes as we settled in to start the show.
This movie is a full on singing and dancing movie that he loved! Mid way through the movie, he asks me to dance. He decides that each time they dance in the movie, we should too. We were in our pjs, lights out (cause it's dark in here like a movie theater), hopped up on sugar, dancing like crazy folks. It was so much fun!
For this night, there was no weight on our shoulders. No sign of autism. No meltdowns. There was just sweet, sweet fun with my loving boy. At bedtime (two hours later than usual) he hugged me tight and thanked me for this night. Oh my sweet boy, no thanks are necessary. This is how it should be!
