Holidays are over!

Well, the holidays are over. To be honest, Logan could have cared less I think. He doesn't seem to get the concept of it but that is okay. He went to church with us on Christmas Eve and then we went to my mom's and ate supper. Christmas morning came and we opened presents here before going to Mom's for breakfast. Logan's favorite gift was a reindeer that dances around and raps to "Up on the Housetop". However, he also got one of those big wooden cubes that has all the mazes and beads on them. A lot of times you see them in doctors offices and he loves it. He has been doing pretty well with the break from school. However, they still have another week. Maybe my luck will hold and it will be good. Now once he goes back the adjustment period may be a couple of weeks. It is so hard to predict how he is going to react. I so wish sometimes that autism was not a part of my life. Unfortunately, I don't have the luxury of that being true. I told someone the other day, after getting some rude stares our way, that I guess I needed to develop thicker skin. I have a feeling, however, that it may never be thick enough. I have people tell me that the ones who stare or make rude comments are the ones with the problem. I know this is true. But that does not stop your heart from breaking for your child. Nobody wants others to look at their child and think, "What is wrong with that kid? The parents can't control him at all." In the end, the stares and comments piss me off more than anything. I see on a daily basis how some things are such a struggle for Logan. How would you like to be trapped in your own body? That must be what it feels like to him, then again I am only guessing. I am just going by what I see every day. I have to post a couple pictures because they are cute!!
