Our vacation as been great so far and the boys are all doing wonderful, Kodi is enjoying every minute of each day being with his cousins and grandparents. He is making wonderful choices and we have only had two melt downs while we have been home.
As a family we usually don't go out to restaurants for a couple of reasons, the first being the noise and second we have a 2 year old who doesn't always listen and loves to run around. We decided to take them with us to TGI Fridays to go and get my childhood best friend and her family. We had told Kodi that when everything became too much for him to let us know. We pulled out the "guys" I brought with us and let the boys play while we ordered and ate our food. Just as she brought our food and started to eat Kodi tapped Aaron on the shoulder and said "dad I need to jump" "Ok buddy we can go do that" outside they went no questions asked no yelling and melting down by Kodi they went out twice during dinner and on the third time Kodi asked to go to the car and just sit, Aaron stated "than we are not coming back buddy this time is that OK" "yes daddy that is fine" Kodi very nicely answered.
I couldn't believe how great both boys did, Kodi was able to tell us when his body had enough and needed some time to regroup.
Last night was for us a very great break through, my parents have a giant swing set in the back year and Kodi loves to swing I would let him he would swing all day long and that great big smile would stay on his face. You see pure joy when he is swinging. So Aaron pushed Kodi on the tire swing and he spun and spun until Aaron found a bug for Kodi and he jumped off, and was actually dizzy from the spinning. I couldn't believe it this is something that never happens that he is actually processing the spin. Aaron and I just smiled and I was so very proud, that we are making process. Of course he didn't know why we were so very happy but it was a very great moment for us.
