It really is awful :) Yes, I try and remember to look back-especially when we are having a rough month..I need to remember that we have often taken 20 steps forward and 17 steps back..but we always move ahead..<br /><br />I have hearing problems-and they are STILL sometimes way too loud! And yet...for the most part I can hear them-when they wish I didn't..:)kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07648854807234137885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508619860116485212.post-3618018620564101612011-03-13T23:36:00.194-04:002011-03-13T23:36:00.194-04:00The bad Italian accent is totally not Oscar's ...The bad Italian accent is totally not Oscar's fault. Blame it on Mario (who does not sound like any real Italian I've ever heard).<br /><br />It's definitely good to look back and see how far y'all have come. Even with Alex, there's so much progress, and I too need that reminder.<br /><br />And I'm totally with you on the loudness. One of the autistic traits that I have is aural sensitivities, and all three of my kids are LOUD (and I'm not the only one who thinks so). Sometimes I just have to go away (usually in the basement) to be away from the loudness. Of course, that is dependent on the actually being able to be away--which doesn't always happen. There are times when I think maybe I should get a set of those noise-dampening head phones, but then there are those times where one of my kids slips off somewhere they shouldn't and my "super-sensitive hearing" as Willy calls it is the only warning I get. *sigh* Can't win for losing.Stephaniehttp://embracingchaos.stephanieallencrist.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508619860116485212.post-78669436744231183962011-03-13T12:06:27.177-04:002011-03-13T12:06:27.177-04:00@life in the house-Thanks..:) yup-it really is, ev...@life in the house-Thanks..:) yup-it really is, even when it is hard.<br /><br />@Kwombles-HA!

Being able to appreciate how far we've come lets us access gratitude and hope, which helps us to be able to keep going forward.

I can remember looking back with Alex thinking "how can this be so hard, what am I doing wrong?" When we finally were told Autism, I had a thought of "thank God, I'm not crazy..." It seems like light years ago. I love to look back, take stock and see how far he's come. Don't get me wrong I look ahead and worry too, but looking back I think gives me the strenght to move forward.<br /><br />Thanks for the reminder.Lizbethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03449627964374811836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508619860116485212.post-43231774580748704992011-03-12T08:21:31.088-05:002011-03-12T08:21:31.088-05:00Seems odd to say lovely about a post that involves...Seems odd to say lovely about a post that involves Mario and farts. :) But, nonetheless, it is.
