after a stressfull evening...

after a very stressful evening of Curly doing all kinds of things to break my heart, like refusing to hold my hand, not letting me touch her, only wanting to hold Daddy's hand, only wanting to sit next to daddy, not listening to me, and not looking at me,running from me, I drove them home and opened the door to let her out, she stood there in the van, stretched up to her tip toes, peered into my eyes, MADE eye contact with me and said "hi mom it's good to see you" and then gave me the biggest hug

Now that was AWESOME!

Oh these are the trying points of autism.

Sara will rattle my cage all day-bad behaviors and angry.
Then she comes over lies down and hugs me calling me a mothergoose duck which her way of saying HI MOMMY!

Funny patterns in their behavior makes us nuts but when they cuddle it really helps us move onto the next challenge.
