I got home from New England at 1:30 this morning. It was a very long week. The pictures were probably deceiving. I wasn't playing with dogs and floating around on a raft in the Gulf of Mexico. I spent the week exploring some very difficult issues related to myself and others. It was like being in intense, group therapy for 5 days. At times, I wanted to throw in the towel and come home. In the end, I learned a lot about my own process, how to be in a group, I deepened some already existing friendships and made new ones. I wouldn't trade this experience for anything.
I am glad to be back with Greg and Jake. Jake hugged me so many times today. He didn't want me out of his sight. I can't believe how much he has changed in only a week. His vocabulary is expanding by leaps and bounds. Today he said to me, "Mommy, daddy working." Yes, daddy was at work. He also sang a song from Kindermusik with another child's name in it. I can't believe he remembered the name of his friend.
I'll post pics later.
