While You Were Gone

My husband, four of our daughters and one granddaughter left yesterday to visit relatives in New England. James always has a wonderful time with his cousin Tony and Auntie Weez and he's been looking forward to this trip all summer. They are sailing on Tony's sailboat and eating Auntie Weez's specialties. I never had macaroni and cheese with tomatoes until she made them for us years ago.
I decided to stay home with the two new kids to help the little guy settle into a routine here. He doesn't do well at all with changes. That's an understatement. He does HORRIBLE with changes and a trip like that would be way too much on him. I've found I have to transition from one activity to another very slowly to help him stay relaxed. He signed "please" this morning for another cookie instead of slamming his head on the floor. Progress!! Today has actually been not a terrible day and his head banging/frustration occurred much less. His sister has been delightful company as only a five year old little girl can be. She loves castles and princesses, snuggling in bed reading stories and painting toenails. Here I go falling in love again!
