Could do better.

I truly could do better keeping up with this blog.
Holidays are truly a stressful time for me.
Z gets over stimulated during this time of year. For Nick and I it's a happy/sad time.
We're happy he "gets" Christmas, Sad he gets overstimulated with it.
This year he's not hyper, he's zoned out. His teachers are trying to help him and I'm always nervous he won't go back to his old self. Though I'm told he will I still worry.....cause I am a major worry wart and I'm a mom.
His PPCD teacher that he had when he was 4 told us a few things we could do to help him out.
I will share them with you.

Tone down your decorations.
Try not to keep your tree lights constantly blinking.
Put them back on a visual schedule (velcro picture kind of schedule, something visual)
Keep things simple, keep things calm.

Anyone who knows me knows that keeping things simple and keeping things calm is tough.
I run all over the place.
But I try to keep our same schedule at home as much as possible no matter how crazy the holiday is AND................. I try not to lose my temper and hold him when he's frustrated.

I truly enjoy the holding part.
