almost 2!

     I cannot even believe it! In less than a week my sensational little guy is going to be two! TWO!!!

     I keep thinking back to when he was first born and all the crazy that went on back then. I think about my pregnancy and how Samual was unlikely to make it at one point, how my body was fighting against him. I can't help but think about how there was a time that I wasn't sure my little baby would be here today. Here we are two year later and my little guy is here and so very very awesome.

     I look at him and cant help but think "its all worth it". He really is the light of my life and despite everything we've been through with his dad, moving away from family, meeting Jd, Samual's diagnosis and just getting through it all together, I know I have the best son ever. My life has truly been better because my life has been blessed with his life. Every meltdown and battle and every bit of craziness that goes on in our home is totally worth it.

     We are throwing him a birthday party the day after his birthday. I have planned out every detail to try to make it easier on him. We are having the party in a park to help with his issues of being around too many people in too small of a space. Being outside will also help Samual be able to walk away if he's too overwhelmed. We are also having games that Samual will enjoy as they use a lot of visual and touch activities. Jd and I are going to get Samual a sweater he has been wanting that is soft and large to help with his clothing issues. We are also getting him large puzzle pieces as per Samual's speech therapists suggestions. We are trying not to overwhelm him with too many new things as he is not one to enjoy a lot of new toys. He's very happy playing with the few things he does have.

     Honestly this whole birthday thing is overwhelming me, trying to make everything perfect for Samual. We are trying very hard to make it all work and still learning all of his sensory triggers and we are not perfect but we are going to give it our all and hope it all works out.

Until next time,
