Our boy continues to surprise us.
A bit of background - Krassi does not enjoy car rides. He's fine for little things around town, but once we get to a 40 minute or longer drive it is Not. Good.
This past weekend we took a trip a little over an hour away to a friend's hobby farm. We got some fussing out of Krassi on the way there, but to only be there for a few hours and turn around and go home past his bedtime was more than he was going to put up with, and he was letting us know it!
Imagine our surprise when we got off the interstate highway onto the highway that takes us to our house - maybe a mile from home, and on a route he takes both coming home from school in the bus and coming home from the therapy center we're at twice a week - he stopped crying, just like that!! We both thought, no way he recognizes where we are - he has such a hard time looking at things as it is, and anyway, it's dark out. But we didn't hear any more fussing, and I was watching him, and he was definitely looking out the window of the van. As we turned onto the frontage road where we live, his smile got bigger, and turned to little bits of laughter as we turned into our driveway.
I really think he recognized the familiar road and knew that we really were close to his home!
