We made it to the river but this mamas patience was tried. I try to focus on the positive but some days it`s hard. You fellow parents know. #AutismAwareness #autistic #autismmom #swimming #river #loveyou #screaming #crying #love #vancouver #battleground #blogger #happy #sad

She had not escaped Ellensburg in a few years. So...i am happy to have her company. A fun day of Estate sales, Saturday market and lunch. Now reboot for these old ladies before dinner with my Aunt/her sister. Go, go, go.... #motherhood #mother #autismawareness #specialneeds #vancouver #saturday #saturdaymarket #familytime #happy #love #smiles #smile #family

I have been having to force leaving the house often this summer but it is always worth it. We both enjoy the escape and energy release is good for us both. It`s easy for me to stay home and relax with her but in the long run social outing and exposure is necessary for growth. Thanks for the fun today Brooklyn.

Speaking to you Alina Kroeger A few important rules to teach your daughter(s):
• Travel light through life. Keep only what you need.
• It’s okay to cry when you’re hurt. It’s also okay to smash (some) things; but, wash your face, clean your mess, and get up off the floor when you’re done. You don’t belong down there.
• If you’re going to curse, be clever. If you’re going to curse in public, know your audience.
• Seek out the people and places that resonate with your soul.
• Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.
• 5-second rule. It’s just dirt. There are worse things in a fast food cheeseburger.
• You are a woman, you do not need a man, but you can absolutely enjoy your life with a good one.
• Happiness is not a permanent state. Wholeness is. Don’t confuse these.
• Never walk through an alley alone.
• Be less sugar, more spice, and only as nice as you’re able to without compromising yourself.
• Can’t is a cop-out.
• Hold your heroes to a high standard. Be your own hero.
• If you can’t smile with your eyes, don’t smile. Insincerity is nothing to aspire to.
• Never lie to yourself.
• Your body, your rules.
• If you have an opinion, you better know why.
• Practice your passions.
• Ask for what you want. The worst thing they can say is no.
• Wish on stars and dandelions, then get to work to make them happen.
• Stay as sweet as you are.
• Fall in love often. Particularly with ideas, art, music, literature, food and far-off places.
• Say Please, Thank You, and Pardon Me, whenever the situation warrants it.
• Reserve “I’m sorry” for when you truly are.
• Naps are for grown-ups, too.
• Question everything, except your own intuition.
• You have enough. You are enough.
• You are amazing! Don`t let anyone ever make you feel you are not. If someone does....walk away. You deserve better.
• No matter where you are, you can always come home.
• Be happy and remember your roots, family is EVERYTHING.
• Say what you mean and mean what you say.
• Be kind; treat others how you would like them to treat you.

Lately sitting while we eat is an issue. She wants to stand and hunch while eating. I don`t understand why the change. Trying to work with her on understanding it`s easier to sit in the chair. Oh the humor sometimes

The annual memberships to OMSI so pays off. She enjoyed the sensory room as well, but the exhibit was also fascinating to her. The problem is she is wanting more independence and is pushing her boundaries. I lost her once and know it will continue to happen. Tracking device or phone something on her might be needed soon. I just tell myself to breathe and look where I think she would have gone. Typically works...oh the Autism Brain. It is so lovely but complex and tiring. #autismawareness #autismacceptance #autism #omsi #portland #specialmoments #brain #happy #love #specialneeds #adaptability #boundries #support #sensoryplay #dinasours #dinosaur #lego #museum

The plan was 2 estate sales then Dizzy castle. She typically won`t last long at the sales and definitely is entertaining during the process. However today she did great letting Mama take a look around. The outing and continual effort to push her boundaries has helped us both. Don`t get me wrong we had some hard moments but that`s OK. Welcome to parenting...😅🤣😂
