Life is not without its challenges but also full of blessings. When I hear my son's laughter all those challenges temporarily fade away: and when I think of the unconditional love that we share, I realize what a precious gift that has been bestowed upon me in this lifetime in which I had never imagined would be so magnificent. The one thing that I am sure to tell him every day is that I love him and that he is exactly the way he was meant to be created..He is PERFECT!
I was so happy to see my handsome little guy come through the door of the assembly hall of the camp. Last year he was reserved but gave me lots of big hugs asking the counselor if he could stay another day. But this year he was not only reserved by didn't really give me big hugs and seemed rather upset and wanted to leave right away. He didn't want to stay and wait for his turn in the talent show, but the counselors had reassured me that he was doing fine after the initial transition time Sunday - Tuesday then he warmed up and seemed to get over his homesickness. I think that social stories are the key to getting him through these situations so much more smoothly and it so simple.
Here is Griffin dancing to Party in the USA , it so awesome because he would not have done that this time last year. He has grown so much in such a short period of time.
I haven't read all the notes that the counselors wrote but will share some of them after I do. As soon as we left the entrance of the camp Griffin was like a vulture searching out for a little tidbit of meat but where could it be? KFC? No, Wendy's that's it! He ate and became so quiet I had to keep checking to see if he was still back there. I am just so grateful to have him home again and to be able to give him hugs.
Hi My name is Jenna and I came across your site. Griffin, an amazing, special and precious, young boy. He is a real fighter, and an inspirational hero. I loved that video of him dancing to party of the USA. He is so cute, and that was adoreble! I was born with a rare life threatening disease, and 12 other diagnosis. Some which include, suspected autism, bipolar, behaviour, stress, anxiety, developmental delays, and obbsesive behavior. I love it when people sign my guestbook. www.miraclechamp.webs.com

Cute!
It's funny how moms dream about getting a break from their children. And then, when that opportunity comes, we can't wait to get them back.:)
I was going to say the exact same thing as DeeAnn! We long for a break, but then pine for them when they're away XXX
