Hi everyone, I'm kind of excited and nervous at the same time at the moment as my husband and I go on holiday in the morning. We're really looking forward to the break but can't help feeling a little strange about leaving the kids at grandma and grandads as they have always been with us 24/7 for 6 years!!!
I took on board everyone's advice from the last composition I wrote on this topic. For our 6 year old I have done a social story about mummy and daddy going to the airport and then on a plane to the hotel and back home again. I have also done him a chart with a picture of him and his brother at grandmas house with 7 numbers on to post in an envelope each night and then a picture of us all back at home. I think this visual support has made it alot easier to explain to him, which is great! I'm not quite sure how my youngest will react, his understanding isn't very good yet but hopefully as he is used to grandma he will be ok. The main worry with him was the sleeping but now we have got melatonin it is alot better.
So just to say, thanks for your support so far, will look forward to catching up when I return!
