OK not for anothe month but I am getting ready. I hate last minute shopping and the crowds, yet I love going out on black friday. Go figure.
This is also the time of year when we came home with our boys... it will be 10 years. I am very blessed and love to share the joyous news. However, my little boy does not, he is at the age it is no longer a big deal. I know I know from his perspective it is just a reminder for him there is a birth mother that left him and that really bothers him. This makes me sad. I wish he could really see how excited it makes me and happy we have become a family.
Even with difficult times, we are a family. My husband had to go off last saturday night with lots of his frustrations... and some were due to the fact the boys have changed from their sleeping room to their own rooms. The struggles we go through with the changes. But some of these difficulties are not showing because my kids have grown and changed. There are making wonderful progress that he doesn't see but yet he does.
Sometimes, you have to really STOP and see where you have been and where you are going. Brandon has made some wonderful strides lately and the main one is communicating to us some of his frustrations. We gave him some tools to use and I hope he does use them, appropriately. Time will tell.
