It's been a wild week!

We left on July 19th to go camping in NY. We went and saw the Pageant, and went to all of the church historical sites. We had a nice time despite the rain and Ryan getting hurt. Sunday we decided to drive up and see Niagara Falls since we were so close. So we ended up getting home 1:00am Monday morning. I hope to go back next year, but we will allot more time at Niagara Falls, since there was so much to do there. My favorite church site was definately the Joseph Smith Farm and Frame House and Sacred Grove. I loved it there. It made me wish that I lived there so that I could visit quite often. Next year I think we will plan a Scripture Study in the Sacred Grove.

As far as Ryan goes, we've been doing alright. Vacation was actually good for him, but since we've been home it's been back to the usual. I just read the book The Explosive Child by Dr. Ross W. Greene and it was fantastic. It totally nailed Ryan's behavior. Implementing some of his tactics have definately reduced meltdowns, but of course they're not totally gone. We have lots more work to do.
