Rainy days...

Perhaps the hardest part of having a child with sensory issues is when they don't like rainy days...

School is really going well, considering Ben and Lucie have been tardy every day this week. They didn't get tardy slips until today, and Ben looked like he was going to cry. Today was perhaps the most understandable tardy of the week.

Last night I got Ben to karate. He was in a great mood. He took two tests yesterday, and had gotten his new English pak. He has his Social Studies test today, and he is really on target for this year. I am so proud of him, and so are the teachers. During karate, it began to rain. It was all he could do to get from the door to the car. Not a fun experience.

Today it WASN'T raining when we got out of bed, but that changed as we were getting ready for school. He made it half way to the car, and then he just stood there frozen. It took like 5 minutes to get him to move, and he was drenched. It was lovely. Crying in the car. Trying to listen to Barry Manilow so that we can make it through the day. Can't walk through the puddles in the parking lot at school to get into the building. UGH!!!

I have to clean the garage out and get my door working again. He has to be able to just get into the car and go. This outdoor stimuli is getting to be way too much. I cant' focus on that right now, I have to work on the school stuff. Just want to go back to bed and cover my head up...
