Here are a few things that have made me happy lately.
During a mid-year evaluation of the ballet program that Little One and Middle Kiddo participate in, the children had a chance to add comments to the evaluation sheets. Little One wrote, "I am Billy Elliot." Enough said.
Since Middle Kiddo does occasionally wander to places or people he likes, we have a safety plan in effect with one of the neighborhood families whose property seems to be of special interest. It was wonderful to see the safety plan perfectly executed by said neighbors one night with nothing but patience, understanding and kindness.
I was so pleased when our family doctor at a recent routine visit referred to our child as neuro-divergent and encouraged us to make a medical decision based on what achievements may be possible in our child's future rather than the opposite.
Even though it maxed us out on sweets for a while, receiving four plates/boxes of homemade treats from neighbors the week of Christmas reminded us that we are part of a great community here on our little lane.
Little One often does well when she receives information in writing. So, these messages silently and gently passed from a trusted, long-time therapist to Little One were just perfect.
