I spoke too soon

Well, the sleep issues are back.  They are not as intense as before, but have certainly not subsided.  It's all a process, right?

I told my six year old that his dad and I are going to go see The King's Speech some time soon.  He asked what it is about and I told him it is about a king that had to go to speech therapy.  He said, "You mean just like me?  Did he go see Miss Nicole too?"  I told him that all people have things that they do really well and things they struggle with - even kings.  The smile on his face was amazing, inspirational, and validated that the awareness that I am trying to bring to my community about sensory issues and all the other struggles that go along with it is SO worth it!

There is a reason why my son was given to me.  After all the countless teary nights and frustrating days of wondering how I was going to provide the best therapies and solutions for my son to feel successful, I know this is the reason.  My son is thriving.  Although support was lacking when I was initially going through this process, I want to be there to provide support, resources and information to others.  I sound like such a martyr, but it's true.
