A Mother’s Tale.

A journey into our lives as parents of a special needs child

Has me WRAPPED!

About a month ago, I wrote how Tyler had given me a couple hugs during a bad day I was having. Well, it gets better!

I have a part time job at Bath and Body Works. I have for the last 8.5 years. I just can’t break away from there. Well last night I had to work as they were changing the floor around. When I work a Sunday night, I usually arrive home well after Tyler has been asleep. Last night I was fortunate enough to come home early and he was still awake in his bed. I promised when I left I would give him a kiss when I came home. Well, I kept my end of the bargain up. I went in, saw his smiling little face and promptly gave him a kiss on the cheek. I look down and he is signing for me to pick him up. I told him it wasn’t time and that he had to go night-nights (he started summer school this morning and I knew it was late). I then gave him another kiss on the cheek only to have him sign again he wanted me to pick him up, this time he was starting to sit up. So I did as he asked, as we are supposed to do that so he learns his signs, and what does he do…….. gives me a BIG HUG, then leans over and signed “more” in the direction of his bed. I laid him down and he was asleep within 5 minutes.

He has me right where he wants me…..and I love being there!!!!!!
