Success!

Finally.....at least one child was decently behaved today!

Wow. After one whole week, four social stories, countless behavior charts, and an eight-step behavior management plan, Hope finally got it together and was very well behaved today. It was the first day in Europe without any sensory over-load tantrums from our daughter! However, Connor saw the opening and pounced, producing some impressive tantrums of his own. But, after dealing with five years of Hope's, his are nothing.

Forget the crummy weather and lack of indoor activities in this town- it was a great day anyway! I'll take cold rain over tantrums any day. The forecast is the same for tomorrow, our last day here. Hope says her behavior forecast is the same, too! Yippie!

We did visit the Maritime Museum of Barcelona. Interesting. Fourty dollar lunch at Burger King. Then we were cold and the rain sent us home for the afternoon. Now the kids are in bed and Allen and I are heading out for dinner. My parents will stay here and hold down the fort.

We haven't made it to the Old Town yet. That, or the Aquarium, might be the plan for tomorrow.
