Easier?

Having Abby and Boo gives me a split view of the world. I am Abby's mom--that typical mom doing homework, planning activities and navigating the world of tweendom. I am also Boo's mom--therapy planning, advocating, educating others and most times trying to do my very best.

Being a mom of two completely different children has allowed me to realize that being a 'special' mom is sometimes easier than being a typical one. For example,  this morning with Boo I didn't have to:

  • Deal with eye rolls
  • Have wardrobe fights in the morning
  • Listen to her talk back
  • Tell her to clean her room
  • Get her to understand that clearing the table doesn't mean just dumping the table contents onto the nearest counter
  • And tonight I don't have to help Boo do homework

Of course, I also didn't have help her in the bathroom.

  4. I never really thought about it like that but have been excited before that Tucker thinks I'm the best person to live, ever. I hope that part never goes away! Cheers to no bathroom help!
