Today was a great day. I was at therapy with my son today and we were sitting in the waiting room when a little 4 year old boy was trying to make his exit. I was taken back in time...it was so surreal. I was looking at my life 2 years ago. He was bouncing all over, hard to control, not listening, ramming into things, running away from the therapist and his mother, all with a glazed over look in his eyes. WOW. It made me so happy for how far we have come. Yes, we still have some of these challenges, but most days he could blend into a crowd of kids.

Over the past 3 weeks my son has taken public swimming lessons, with no accommodations. His teacher doesn't even know of his disabilities. This is what I have been waiting for. He loves swimming and is quite energetic but he is following the rules, listening to his teacher and loving every minute of it. What a difference from a year ago.
