👀 This is why I don’t get anything done. Ever.

....... or so I keep telling myself 😏

📚🙈 course maybe it could be all the books I obsessively read, too 🤷🏻♀️ .

The LineUp
.
.
Here’s another one for ya! He’s changed his line-up a bit and made it a curve! He doesn’t usually scan the curve but he deeply appreciates the art of lining them up perfectly. .
. 🐺 Willow drives him nuts when she steps on or lays too close and knocks some cars out of place 🤣 She’s like 🤷🏻♀️

This one I actually set up for him but he straightened it out ;-) I love helping him come up with new ways to line things up. You should try it sometime 🤷🏻♀️ .
.
Here’s what to do:
🚗 Line something up in a perfect line (preferably on the floor)
🚙 Get down on all fours and do what we call “scanning”... you crawl over the line of objects with your face really close to them. (I know, seems odd but I’m tellin ya... it’s cool!)
🚗 Pay attention to the sensation. You can practically FEEL it without ever having touched it.
** obviously I can’t guarantee it’ll work for everyone but worth a shot! **
.

Jackson and I are very sensory based, he may be even more than me (or maybe just in different ways) so it’s fun seeing how he feels and how things affect his senses. .
.
Do you or anyone you know have any fun sensory quirks? 👀♥️

This isn’t just for the mamas. This is for anyone who needs to hear this today. When we fall apart on days like today (Father’s Day or any sort of special day) it’s easy to fall into the trap of guilt.
.
👎🏻 You’re ruining this special day!
👎🏻 Can’t you just handle one day?
👎🏻 Why would you fall apart TODAY?
.
.
That last one got me 🤯 Like we have a CHOICE what day we fall apart?? 🙇🏻♀️ Today is OKAY to fall apart. If a special day is the day it happens, those that love you need to (and probably will) step in and be there for you. Because feeling like a failure is hard enough as it is.
.
.
So if you’re like me, and today is the day you fall apart (even just for a moment) just know...
.
👏🏻 THAT
👏🏻 IS
👏🏻 O K A Y 👌🏼 .
.
Breathe. You got this. 💪🏼 .
