We are taking it one step at a time and my mantra is 'edge plus one'. Good luck.

We've tried to nudge her outside of that comfort zone to have it come back to haunt us. Some times it just doesn't pay.

I think it is so important to push the envelop sometimes, redefine the boundaries, so that they can have the opportunity to explore more and learn to love more.

In the back of my mind I have KNOWN I have to get my son out of his comfort zone (which is my comfort zone too). Gosh how I dread it though. It seems like I put forth all this effort to follow the routines and keep him happy and this goes against that. But you are right. The world is not going to adapt for them. They are going to have to learn to have some flexibility...at least a little. My son is 3, so I consider u a veteran at this. So thanks for sharing your story. I may be knee deep in a bottle of Merlot too, but I am going to start breaking our routines some.
