Words to live by---

These 3 things remain true to the "Journey of Autism". Anyone or everyone can advise you;

ULTIMATELY you MUST go with what you feel is right. "GO WITH YOUR GUT."

Once you have arrived at this decision; "NEVER GIVE UP"!

LASTLY "Ya Gotta do, what Ya Gotta do!"

Disney Birthday Extravaganza

Happy Birthday Dakota------
Well its been almost a month since I lasted posted and any guesses as to why??? Perhaps a certain someone had a Birthday Celebration!!!!

Yes indeedy we spent the better part of a week at the Disneyland Hotel with all the trimmings- including a a room on the top floor where we could sit out on the patio and watch the fireworks every night, a dinner at Gooys Kitchen with his friends, a day at both the parks with friends who spent the night after Goofys Kitchen and LOOK AT THAT CAKE???? In honor of CarsLand he had a full blown replica of Lightening Mc Queen  driving thru Radiator Springs with the Cozy Cone Motel to boot.{ I have to admit I did think of Madonnas CONE boobs from years ago but decided that it was still OK since he is an adult now anyway!!!!!}

We had a great time and really only had one "glitch" { behavior} of any significance  SO I call that SUCCESS!

I know it seems like a lot and many would say too much .... Here's how I see it..
 First and foremost  Dakota has enough crap to go thru everyday of his life and if this gives him joy and maybe allows him to be "normal" for even one minute or hour its all worth it...
Secondly this kid does not ask me for Nikes or Air Jordan's, iPods, iPads, any type of clothing, to go to sporting events or concerts{ although he likes them,he doesn't ask for money for movies or cars or booze ----He loves still being around me , he doesn't break curfew.he doesn't go out and get in trouble , he doesn't wear his pants around his knees and he hasn't brought home a girl pregnant ... So how tough is life with him????I think sometimes I am blessed to have the kid I have instead of a typical one . Don't get me wrong I long for Dakota to be able to do all the other things BUT sometimes we just have to realize that things are the way they are and instead of whining about it just get up and get on with it>>>.

ALL IN ALL  A GREAT TIME WAS HAD BY ALL ... SAVE THE DATE CUZ i AM SURE WE WILL BE DOING IT AGAIN!
