All of my boys have some sort of sensory issue, but Jamin is probably the most sensitive to clothing. He prefers to have NO clothes on at home. Drives Papa bonkers! But it is what it is. The poor kid takes after his mama. We just try to have his clothes be as comfortable as possible.
On Sunday, we had a very full, busy day. We went to church in the morning, then had lunch at BK, came home for a second for Mama to change clothes, and headed out to the zoo.
When we got back home, it was dinner time. That’s a LONG time for him to be in church clothes! As SOON as he came in the door, he stripped down to just his underwear. The look on his face was priceless. “I’m home! I’m FREEEEEE!”
Anyone else with a child with SPD want to share a quick story? Or share something you do to help make things as easy for your SPD kid as possible?
God bless,
Jenn
About Jenn: I’m a Christian wife to an amazing man (since 1998) and a stay-at-home-teaching mom to four special & incredible boys (born in 2004, 2005, 2007, & 2009). I’m messy and cluttered, but working on that (really, I am!). I’m a discouraged perfectionist and a classic procrastinator who probably has both ADD & Autism, so I tend to jump from topic to topic (and activity to activity) without notice. My Love Languages are Words of Affirmation and Physical Touch. I’m an INFP who enjoys friends but loves to be alone. I love getting and giving hugs, and encouragement is a Spiritual gift of mine that can too-easily be turned into the weapon of discouragement, if I’m not careful. I enjoy writing, singing, words, drawing, photography, digital creations, and reading. Oh, and pizza, tacos, and steak. Now I’m hungry. That reminds me; I eat gluten free and try to eat organic and avoid white sugar and GMOs as much as possible. I’ve very recently returned to the workforce (after 22 years!) as a teacher in a Christian childcare because I love Jesus and love little ones! I love it!
