Bear is at the inlaws. My fil took sd and bs to the movies and mil came and got Bear yesterday. Dh and I stayed behind and swept and mopped and dusted to make sure all allergies as gone as we could make it. Sd did great with only a little sign of allergies but I think that was because we were all super aware and waiting to see what would happen. By the end of the evening sd was fine and showing no signs. I texted her this morning and she said she was fine and wasn't having a reaction so I think we did good and have that handled. Now bs..... My baby is upset and I feel horrible. He is mad that Bear is at my inlaws although he understands. Bs did okay last night. We tried to keep him distracted but at bed time I know he was missing Bear. My mil facetimed him so he could say goodnight to Bear and then he went to bed. Sad It was to late for him to join the bowling league so we found an archery club nearby and they have 5 teens his age in. They meet once a week to shoot and we got bs a coach (the leader of the club) to help him learn archery. He really enjoyed the meeting and 1 of the kids has been texting back and fourth with ds and offering to help him learn. Sd says that if he joins marching band he will have more friends since it's like a family so bs has decided he wants to lean the Trumpet and do that next year so we are looking at music teachers this week and renting a trumpet to see how he does. Dh is going to pick up the cost of the rental and lessons as a thank you to bs for everything. I am hoping and praying that sd being here will not only be a good thing for us as a family but that she will help bs be more social. Last night I watched him come out of his world a little and try to interact with sd on her favorite subject. He made a joke teasing her and then looked panicked when she turned and gave him the eye before laughing. I really hope this is going to be good for him.

I am praying that it is. Sd is so social and has lots of friends. I'm hoping since they are close in age that she will try and include him and help him. She knows he is a bit different than other kids and her heart seems tender towards him so that is a plus.

So happy for you sounds like things are going really well. I do hope your BS will come out of his shell. I think you and DH are doing a great job on trying to blend this family.

I hope BS will not be so dependent on Bear anymore and I hope you find a solution that works for every one...

especially for Bear

I'm sorry that your DS suffered the loss of his therapeutic pal. I'm glad that he will still have contact with him. I know this has been a difficult situation for you. This balancing act. You have gone above and beyond in order to keep your family intact. I give you so much credit for doing it. I hope your DH fully understands and appreciates you and your sons sacrifice. He's a lucky man, as is his DD.

These IL's are the grandparents to your SD? If so, what happens when SD wants to visit them?

We haven't gotten that far. I guess they will come here or meet out some where. She could also take allergy meds if she will be there for short periods.
