No I don't mean two days until James has a new cousin (or maybe I do??) I mean until Christmas!! I am not sure if - or how much - he understands, but James has been happy and silly for the past three days. I know he picks up on emotions (even if we "grownups" think they are concealed), so how could he NOT be excited? It's in the air! Not to mention the very pretty, very seasonal snow. It's actually frozen ice. And thank God, as snow is usually black and dirty if it is on the ground for more than a day or so. So Happy Christmas (and Hannukah, and Kwanza, and New Year, too!) Tomorrow morning, we are running away (after one more OT session) to begin a much deserved vacation where there are no schedules or appointments (except that one at Grandma and Grandpas that involves too much food, drink, presents and silliness). Even an autistic kid needs a vacation (well, almost. There are still potties and eating utensils and communication books on holiday). Poor James! And wish us luck too . . .
