Well today it is official the school holidays are over, Hooray!!! It has been the longest school holidays ever. My ASD son has managed to get three weeks of school holidays instead of the usual two weeks that everyone else has!!! And boy did that last week did drag on!! Our last week being the third week was full of medical appointments and lots of meltdowns!! The meltdowns were in full swing, so I was so looking forward to some structured routine, because going to school has become very structured and predictable, something my son has gotten very used to.
Today was a particularly a good day for the both of us! My son went to school in good spirits and returned very happy that he met up with his friends, and for me I could get things done around the house without interruption.
The holidays were not all bad!! We managed to go to our local show, that was a great day. He also went to the movies with his father twice, so I was able to have a small break. It was surprising how quiet the house is when you are the only one at home. I felt a bit lost!! But I did enjoy the peace and quiet, I actually could hear myself think. My son wrote some stories during this holidays, which I enjoyed reading. He is also reading books again! He had a long break from reading which he enjoys a lot. He has had a busy holiday this time.
I hope this school term is going to be just as good as the last school term and he continues to follow his passion reading books and writing stories. I will promote his love for reading and writing stories.

Wow! Three week break. Long time. Not good to see he had some big meltdowns, that would have been exhausting for you.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see some positive things during the holidays!!! Yay!
Hi Annette, sorry I haven't been around much, this term has flown by.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that the structure of school is working so well for your son and that first term was successful. Well done for surviving the holidays too, even with their ups and downs.
Regards :)
