Thanksgiving weekend is all about
food and shopping fun for everyone.For us it was lot more than food and
shopping. Wednesday was a Nutcracker fun day. Anand absolutely loved it and
want to go again. But getting him ready was a ride. From my boss to my bonus
money and company wants to do it and what not.. but finally it all ended great.
He came back home happy.
It always has been my way of
pushing him for things every other kid would do. Sometimes it does back fire
and I feel bad about it but these are the occasions when I feel I am doing OK..
I do need to take my chances and see how it goes.
The next day I pushed another
button – Take Anand to a wedding, an Indian Wedding. I didn’t want him to miss
on something special than our everyday life.
I went there first and noticed
that it will be over crowded for him. There were around 400 guests. But I still
wanted him to be there.. when Anand came with Ashish and AJ it was
obvious he was done with the place within minutes, . He wanted food. Off course
that was the biggest catch for my growing boys. Thank goodness for the waitress
she could get a piece of Pizza for him and he was happy.
then bride came in Palanquin, Everyone
was clapping and having fun and it was sensory overload for him so I settled
him in another area ( next to the wedding place) with my iPhone ( Steve Job, I
love you even more). It was heart breaking that my son was sitting alone somehwere.. The wedding ceremony lasted for an hour and he spend
that hour with Mario. Three of us could be part of Ami’s big day and Anand
spend his time in next room.. But later I thought atleast he was there and
enjoyed the grand dinner with all of us. As of now I feel good about it that
atleast . He didn’t enjoy as much I did but atleast we could stay the whole 2+
hours.. and that is HUGE..
So I will keep pushing him, worry
about what will happen next but still keep taking (dragging???) him everywhere…
