[QUOTE="klmno, post: 112954, member: 3699"] What a great question!! Before I answer for myself, I have to say I loved "mums" response that she loves how her difficult child thinks outside the box- you know we spend so much time fighting for our kids because others are trying to force them into a mold that they don't fit in so I think it's great to remember that we love some things about their "uniqueness" as well. It reminds me of when a therapist asked for my list of difficult child's qualities (in my opinion) and then a list of what I thought were his faults. I told him that was easy- it was pretty close to being the same list. Joking aside- I love certain expressions he gets on his face that bring back the memories of him as a baby, when I was sure I'd given birth to an innocent angel! I love that he's compassionate, smart, caring (this could be decreasing!) , loves animals, funny, has started to stand up FOR me on occassion (OMG!), but most noticable to me lately, is that he has started to just do things that I never even mention but that he knows I'll like or it will benefit things somehow. Now, he's not doing this real often so I'm not holding my breath, but after everything that's transpired over the last year, I can't help but be proud to know he thought of something that would make me or someone else happy and took the initiative to just do it, without issue. I hate seeing my "little boy" grow up, but it really helps to see parts of his personality developing that are good. I can't give up on this kid for a long time- know what I mean? [/QUOTE]
