Flashback Friday: Happy Birthday!

This weekend M-boy becomes a teenager. He told me last night that being 12 is boring so he can't wait to be 13. The first picture I have included is M-Boy at Disneyland. He hated crowds and screamed if we even entered a restaurant. If they sang happy birthday to a patron you might as well ask for the food to go because he never calmed down after that fiasco. He was sound sensitive and touch sensitive so Mr. Daphnewood and I decided to experiment (yes on our own son!). We did a little 'flooding' technique. We check into Disneyland hotel for 3 days and took M-boy everyday with two breaks for naps each day. It was the middle of summer so it was VERY crowded. At the end of the trip, M-boy didn't mind all the sights and sounds and to this day I can still take him in a crowd if I need to.

V. turned 13 last July. What a confusing age. Too old for "kiddie stuff" but not old enough for "Grown-up" stuff, hormones kicking in and no idea what to do about them. I loved every minute of it, back there in the Dark Ages.

Happy Birthday M-boy!!
(I remember feeling like all would change the very second you became 13--afterall you were now a Teenager and well on your countdown to being 16 and driving!)
