It is the name of our beach house. We are here! Finally. After all that crying and emotionalism last week I am finally here. I felt a weight lift of me when we crossed the bridge into this beach city. I played "Party Anthem" when we came into town in celebration. Haha. I listen to the latest teenie bopper music (that's what my friend calls it) so that I don't feel so old! Anyways, it felt good. It feels good to be here. I can hear the waves crashing. I got us an Oceanfront home and I just stared at the waters. My husband and I high-fived each other "We made it!" We made it. It's beautiful here. I hope my daughter and son like it. Hmmm...
Well, my son started to immediately bawl hyterically the minute we drove up to the house. He wanted to go back to the car pulling our hands. I start to panic. Oh Lord (literally) I'm praying he will get adjusted. We take him out to the beach - he is still bawling hysterically. I knew that the transition would be hard but I always am hopefully that miraculousy he wll just start smiling and running towards whatever it is that we want him to enjoy. I tell myself that EVERYTHING that I have ever "enrolled" him in - camps, therapies,activities he at least bawls for at least 30 minutes. Well, this hysteria this time is lasting 2 hours. And then my husband connected up the 60 in TV in the living room with one of his favorite movies "Signing Time". Thank God for that. Phew, he calmed down, settled down in a comfy lounge chair and started smiling. Then, it was alright. He started to explore and run around the house (this makes him very happy). Seriously I was saying hallelujah. Well, my 2 year old daughter on the other hand was fearless. She just ran toward to the waves and didn't care that she started to get wet at the beach still wearing her normal clothes. She took everything in and was grinning from side to side. So characteric of her personality. I love it. She has just been laughing and giggling since we got here. I am just so relieved and happy that she is just besides herself. She has all the family's adoration as she dances, sings, and just be.
I am looking forward the rest of the week....
