Smiley face stickers



Yesterday was Liam's best day at school to date.
During our normal school day routine, he would usually always fight me on going outside tot meet the bus, even if the rest of the day went fine.
Yesterday, when i said- ok bubba, time to go outside to meet the bus!- he ran to the door, and tried to open it. Not just that but he walked all the way down to the end of the driveway on his own (i would usually have to drag/carry him Lol).
He was all smiles the entire time and was playing and running around while we waited. When the bus started coming down the road i pointed to it and showed him- Look! There the bus, you're going to go to school today and see Miss Jill, and draw, and play and your going to have SO MUCH FUN.
He held on to me for a brief moment and i thought i would still have to carry him on the bus and help get him situated in his seat.
But, NOPE. Big boy Liam, went up the bus steps all by himself, and walked with his sweet little old bus aide lady to his seat.
Just like that.
When he got home the bus driver said he didn't cry or fuss not one single time, NOT EVEN IN CLASS. NOT ONCE NOT THE ENTIRE TIME.

The end. lol jk...

In his communication folder was his daily report card, and next to every "daily goal" he was given a smiley face sticker.And, yes, he has received one before with all smileys  The big difference this time is, he was genuinely happy the entire day, which to me is better than all the smiley face stickers in the world.
Good job my love, you have been trying sooo hard and we are SOSOSO proud of you!
Onward and upward!

I know that a lot of it is just Liam adjusting, but i really have to mention Kirkman Labs Super New Thera again , because i feel it has contributed SO positively to some of Liam s behaviors. The biggest one being no more bedtime battles since he began taking the full dosage . Not one time has he fought us and struggled with to bed since. Not once.
And now, i am noticing a calmer, more even tempered Liam, on anything and everything school related.

Call me a believer, because I am.

Love and light, 
A
