Family Time: I took the boys on an awesome hike today (pt2 with pictures)
In this 2nd half of my post, I'll share some of the interesting and scary a things that took place during the second half of our hike. To see the original post, click here. This hike took us down part of the red track, along the train tracks, across 3 bridges, along side the Pro Football Hall of Fame and through a heavily wooded area where most of our hiking took place. We ended up stopping a couple of times for short breaks but these guys did the entire hike without any help. During our time in the woods, we had a really close encounter with 2 deer. They walked right by us and let us get a really close look at them. We were able to watch them for…

Click here for part 2 Being an Autism parent isn't easy. I'm pretty sure I've covered that many times already but in case you missed all those posts, Autism parenting isn't easy. Great, now we're all on the same page, we can move forward. ☺ I've learned over the years that while I can't control what my kids like and don't like, I can have a smidgen of influence, if I frame everything in a certain way.

Just another day in #Autism Parenting paradise (check out the pictures)
The boys are all in bed now but Emmett's not sleeping yet. I'm finally able to relax enough to get some writing done and play catchup on a few things before I turn in for the night. If feel like today was pretty okay. The boys did awesome at school and had a blast at their school Easter egg hunt. Everyone got where they needed to go and I was able to get some necessary Easter shopping done before the boys came home. I'm still not used to doing this alone and it does make me sad but I will not let that ruin our Easter. The boys deserve it and so do I.
