For 2 years I feel like I've been in this bubble- the down syndrome bubble as I may say. 2 years I feel like everything was surrounded by my son having ds. 2 years of grieving,crying, worrying, wondering about his future. Of course all of these feelings are normal- On top of Tyson having ds he also had a very rough first year medically. A year of healthiness has gone by. A year to see him progress with everyday activities has gone by. And it's been a great year for him. Im tired of my focus being about my son having ds. I think it just took him getting a little older and seeing what he could do to make me realize he is not all that "different" He amazes me everyday with new things he does. I will still say it today- his best teachers are his three sisters who can't keep their hands off of that little cutie. They have no idea the good they are doing for him- but I do see the good he does for them. Time to move on as I may say- get my life back together, just get a life in general! lol Treat him no different, stop babying him when he falls as if he can't take care of himself- he is one strong tough little guy. Bruiser is his nickname. The biggest thing I need to get over is feeling sorry for him- He's happy, he's healthy, he's learning, he WILL do everything everybody else can...so why feel sorry for him.
Spring is coming and with spring brings happy times. Time to realize that with of course my children being my main focus, I can also focus on myself....otherwise I'll be more insane than I already am! It is time...time to get out of the bubble
Buddy watching Alina play with her IPod touch
Tell Alina to keep a close eye on that ipod. It won't be long (if it hasn't happened already!) that Tyson is going to hi-jack it! I have posted before about Nate using my ipad like a pro (he's 3) and I just finished reading my friend Ria's post about her son Matthew (also 3) who loves loves loves to play on her iphone! I speak from experience and I'm telling you, Tyson has that look in his eye...like....turn your back for just a sec, sister....that ipod is mine!
ReplyDeleteI love how you can share right from your heart! I love this picture not only because Alina and Tyson are together in it and Tyson looks so cute in this picture =0) but because right there next to them is that chair that has been there thru it all :0) I remember rocking Alina as a new born in that chair... ok, am I the only one that has an attachment to the chair LOL
