It was a long trip to Key Largo today. Justin is experiencing a great deal of anxiety not to mention he is just plain tired. The therapy program starts tomorrow and his nerves are getting the best of him. He is irritable and quick to hit his frustration point. He has begun pulling out his eyebrows and eyelashes again. We keep trying to reassure him. I asked him what he was worried about and he said about the dolphin kissing him. I told him the dolphin wouldn't kiss him if he didn't want him too. That seemed to help a little. It is just the unknown that creates stress for him, like the rest of us. We drove over to the Island Dolphin Care and showed all of them where we would be tomorrow. Our swim time is in the afternoon. Jesse and Misty will actually get to go first. That way Justin will have a little more time with the therapist to build trust before they go in the water.
I will head over in the morning at 8 AM to begin the paperwork and registration. The therapy team suggested we let the kids sleep in while I meet with the team and work with them to finish getting everything ready. Aughh! 8 AM...when do I get to sleep in. Last night I feel asleep while Gene was getting ready for bed and I slept good until 1AM when some kids decided to do a few "prank" phone calls. We got two before we called the front desk. It was hard to go to sleep after that. Oh well, sleep is over rated!
Oh I forgot to tell you about Rosie being called Mom at Disney. She was on the Buzz Lightyear Ride with Misty and was trying to get off. She hit her knee and kind of stumbled the male attendant grabbed for her and said, "You okay there Mom." She was flabbergasted. "Mom, mom, do I look like a mom." "I may look like her but I am not her mother. I am not old enough to be her mother." It was hilarious. She couldn't get over it. She kept asking me do I look that old. Later that afternoon we were looking at dresses for her to buy. She had one picked out and I looked at it and said with a smile. Older women wear darker colors, young women wear bright vibrant colors. Rosie bought a bright orange dress!!
Well, this Mom is ready for bed. So until tomorrow...keep us in your prayers it will be a day of challenges.
