Alright all, I have a question for you. I know we all have times when we are down. Progress isn’t fast enough and we get impatient. Most of the time, I know we all try to stay as upbeat as possible, but what do you do when you start to feel a little bit “bummed out” about the situation?
I know that's kinda corny but, just knowing that there is someone else out there as nice and understanding and supportive as all of you helps a great bit.
I also sit down and make a list of all of my son's accomplishments. The other day, my son "cooked and served food" (in his play kitchen) to his little sister. That was probably one of the first times he decided to play with her on his own. I was so proud.
I am proud when he takes his whole afternoon nap and I am proud when he helps to pick up all his toys after a long day of playing.
This sounds like a "count your blessings" speech and I guess it is.
Then, after I make my Paulie's the Best list, I make sure I ask him for a hug and a nice big smooch! :)
I know that sounds a little sugar coated but, I hope it's of some help!
