What an eventful weekend! Posted By: Aaronsmom

This weekend has been so amazing. First, Aaron was actually invited to a birthday party! When I called to RSVP the mom told me that she was so glad Aaron was coming and that there was a quiet room he could use at the location if he became overwhelmed!!! OMG!! I didn't even ask! Everyone else was out of town this weekend, so my younger daughter, Anne, was going to have to go to the party with us. My plan was to hang out in the lobby, parking lot, or at a nearby store so as not to impose an additional child on the party. I gave the birthday mom my cell phone number just in case, took a very deep breath and walked out the door. Two hours later the party was over and everything had gone perfectly. Today we have a Boy Scout den meeting. We're going to make a bat house, take a nature walk, and have a local college professor come talk to us about bats. Aaron is going to love this. He loves building with tools and the lecture on bats will be constantly interrupted by Aaron's questions and observations.
It seems that we never have perfect Aaron weekends, but this is definitely one. It makes me so happy when things work out well for him. It seems that so often they do not. In a few weeks we're going to have a Boy Scout tree climbing activity, which we will pay for and attend, but not participate in due to Aaron's fear of heights. A week or two after that we're having a 2 night camp out with the Boy Scouts. If only mommy could find a way to not participate! It'll be fun, but I prefer sleeping in a bed and taking a shower indoors. I guess I should be happy if this camp ground has a shower!
