I look at this journey as adventure not a disorder. But let face it, it's hard and there are days where giving up sounds so tempting. But you have to press on, coming up with new ways to teach, nurture, discipline and so on. Plus the days that are good or not so bad make up for all the bad ones. I love You Sebastian and Riley. Love, Momma

Since my last post.
A lot has changed! SPD has changed our plans of me working out side of my home. Daycare was not able to keep up with the demands of our child Sebastian. He is very complex to say the least funny, bright, loving, Big personality, goodness you just love the boy! but he also cries, screams, breaks down, pinches, hits, kicks, bites, steps on things maybe your hand, or a pet (dogs mostly) but he doesn't understand cause and effect. even though he has gone through it over and over again. He needs to control the situation whether it be a toy or a person in his space but he doesn't also understand about your space like if it is ok for him to touch or engage with you he doesn't get your personal boundaries so he may be in your face really close being really loving or sometimes quite strange because he is hurting you (" I see this as needing that touch, impact, interaction, negative attention or positive.") Because of this behavior he is learning how to build relationships. SPD has paralyzed our family financially but our Faith is stronger for it.Through the pain and joy we are trusting GOD to use us as a voice. An AWARENESS for SPD and other paralyzing disorders to families with all different types of income. I can't afford this disorder ring a bell for anyone who reads this blog or maybe that is not your battle maybe it is something else. We have come up with an idea to support our families struggle with SPD. One thing that has always brought joy and a perfect setting for my children with SPD is out doors, hiking, walking, easy rock climbing. So my idea is to make the prints that we have taken as a family of beautiful things we have seen in Colorado. Make them available for donations. (and if anyone knows how that works to set up something like that it would be most helpful.) here are some samples I'll post them tonight when I get the kids in bed. please write I would like your feed back thanks Rachel Humphreys
