Another bright idea that didn't quite work out....
Since we have early appointments at Toowoomba in the morn I thought I would treat mum, myself and kids to a motel and not have to get up at 5 am! Yeah, well, after musical beds for the past 2 hours, the kids are still not asleep!!!!!!
One needs total darkness, another light on and be super close ie in bed with an adult because it's a strange place, another a room to herself or just wants to play with whomever is close..... And only 2 rooms! Work the bed planning out. Just not happening.
The thoughts and plans for a coastal family holiday at the end of the year are fast becoming pipe dreams. No way we could do this unless we have a three to four bedroom unit for this mob! Such a shame too because for the first time in about 3 years we actually thought we had enough strategies in place to manage it.....
Sometimes it's the simplest things (like sleeping arrangements) that upset the apple cart. The joys of living with ASD & ODD...... In the meantime while the coastal holiday is moving further away in thoughts, the current dream is for these kids to go to sleep!!!
