I logged in to do a quick post before being out of pocket for a week or so, and noticed this is my 250th post. I feel I should do something a bit more monumental than ramble on about our comings and goings, but these are the thoughts I seem to be able to string together tonight.
Summer is clipping along. School will reconvene before we know it. Summer is too short. Phineas and Ferb are really lucky to have 104 days of summer vacation. Wonder what school they're zoned for.
But as much as I try to savor every moment of summer break, there were moments last week that I longed just a bit for the start of school, or at least for Luke to have a break from dear old mom. We both needed it. Homeschoolers, I salute you. I'm amazed at your patience and tenacity.
On Tuesday I was attempting to convince Luke that going to Costco really would be fun but no we weren't getting a wii game, when a friend called to invite Luke to play. Luke eagerly said, "I can go there and NOT Costco?!!!!" He had so much fun and stayed and played happily for 4 or 5 hours! I ran errands like mad! Big HUGE thank you to Cooper and family! And so proud of Luke for this long play date without mom! Yeah!
And today we had the pleasure of joining some friends for a super great day at the pool. We met these friends years ago in the therapy clinic lobby. And we spent some years in preschool together. The kids are all now in different schools but we moms stay in touch, though kind of sporadically. We've been wanting to get the kids together all summer and it finally happened today.
Some super cool, brave kids lunching poolside. So proud of them!

It was precious time watching our kids play and enjoy each other. And it was so refreshing for me to reunite with these moms who are also so thankful for the amazing progress of their special kids, but still press on with challenges that remain.
So post 250 is a little about us but mostly about friends. I am not good at asking for help, but sometimes we all need a little help from our friends. So thankful for the friends God's placed on our path.

That is funny. I was thinking this morning about how great it is to have friends who are on your same autism journey with you. It just helps to have people along who understand. Thanks for all that YOU do! =)
