[QUOTE="mrscatinthehat, post: 108974, member: 2063"] to the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) Christmas party for difficult child 2. I went and got him some pj pants and a shirt and new socks and underwear. I forgot to get him some slippers but will do that later on. I had told myself to just do the party and not think of last night, tommorow nothing of that sort. Just be there for those 2 hours. After we had been there about 10 minutes he started asking when we are going to leave. I let it go for about an hour and a half. Then I asked him if he wanted us there. He said yeah and for the last bit we were there he stopped asking. We had a pretty good time. Not sure how he felt about the gifts (one never knows). He said he wanted a Wii. I said he couldn't have one there so we just wouldn't do that at this time. He let that go too. I was impressed. He still doesn't know that he is coming home on the 26th for a couple hours. That is going to remain a surprise. Not based on behavior either as it is the rest of his Christmas present. The one essentially from all of us (parents, staff etc). I am terrified of that day but like this one we will take it in stride and move on from there. I chalk this up to one of the better Christmas moments with him. Beth [/QUOTE]
