[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 173177, member: 1631"] Sue-Yep-it was hard to hear him cry. I too almost laughed at the loud thing! I love the name Mr. Grumpy-I may have to use it with him when I know he is in the mood to handle it:) Klmno-You're right-I think it is harder to adjust to a home where you don't know anyone as opposed to a center. Fran-It really was an island of peace-and oh so nice. I guess I was too optimistic that it would go better. Usually with new people he does really well. Heather-We tried to frame it that it would be a fun thing for him to do-there would be boys for him to hang out with and such. Like you said though adjusting to someone else's rules in a strange house-very hard for him. Linda-Like you we will have to continue to utilize respite even if it's not his favorite thing. I think we'll use that family picture idea-he did take one of husband's shirts for pajamas. I'm hoping it will get better, he asked me today if he ever had to go back-said he doesn't want to go. Sharon-It really was a nice evening. I'm hoping it will be a great support and that he will eventually enjoy going (except when it's for crisis-then he isn't suppose to enjoy it)! [/QUOTE]
