I agree, a routine day with kids who have disabilities is far better than the alternative. <br /><br />Candace, therapy routines are the one routine I REALLY adore! We've had Max's OT here on Tuesdays and Thursdays since he was three months old. <br /><br />Lyla, come visit and I will teach you all about power washers!<br /><br />David, I know, routines are really important for kids, special needs or not.

The school run started it bigtime time though and my son with autism sealed it as he needs routine. I find now that if our routine goes astray I can't find myself or catch up:) I don't know how many years it has been since I had an afternoon shower lol.

I never was much of a routine person either, back in the day. If I wanted to stay out all night whooping it up, I did. If I wanted to sleep till noon, I did. When it's no longer about just us, though, we have to adjust to the needs of the little ones, at least until they've flown the coop!Felicianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-55133307379035963572010-04-06T07:51:52.225-04:002010-04-06T07:51:52.225-04:00I am a routine person all the way around!

I guess it's more a No Change thing. But I do like my routine. Same therapy schedule for about 3 years now! See what I mean!

But then again sometimes it is nice to know what the kids want and when they will want it. Good question!
