Why does my 9 yr old wander NOW?

I wish that I can find someone even here in cyberworld who has an aspberger kid and that can explain to me why we have this newer issue of wandering.....you tell him to sit here, turn around and he is gone with a logical reason in his mind. You cant discuss this with a typical mom.....I have AWESOME AMAZING friends here that love Dylan. And it does take a village to raise a child and here in Campbellsvile it is a great village....but I wish there was a mom that can think outside the box amd help me......

Getting all aspbergery

I have noticed suttle changes in Dylans behavior....he has been wanting more "quiet" time where he wants to be alone and not participate in activities....We have been talking alot....yesterday at church he decided that he wanted to sit under as table that is in front of out church....weird, there are people in front of him, but he felt safe under there and the pastors mom gave me the thumbs up that it was OK. So after lunch he and I took a nap on our trampoline for quit sometime....He had taken some boys glasses at school and I asked him why...he said because he wants to wear glasses...so I had to explain to him that you cant just take peoples glasses. No biggy, just small stuff like that you have to teach him and hes a boy and what boy hasn't done something like that. But we got a note home so I talked to him about it. We talked about Heaven and birds....and being buddies...it was real nice and relaxing. He even brought out a blanket and pillows...DEFINITELY got some sleep action there! THEN Jacob came out....God love um. We had a jumping contest. I did not win.

Auuuh what a great Spring Break!!! It started on Sunday...Easter was such a blessing for us. I was going to cook a grand meal and when I told Thom...he had this weird look on his face and said Why don't you take a break and we go to Coltons....glad we did! Then it was off to get the boys surprise...we were going to get them a trampoline...little did they know they actually purchased it hahaha. Thom and I went Saturday to look at them, there were 6 of them...soooo on Sunday when we went...can you believe there were NONE LEFT?!?!?! $$$300.00!!! Unbelievable. sooo we had to call the Wal-mart in the next town, they had six....Thom told them to write our names on one and we will be right there :o).

When we got home it was so much fun to work on it together! I read, Thom got the parts, the boys fought. It was the best experience! Oh and the dog freaked and demanded to be in the middle of it. It took a day, but when it was complete the boys took joy in the fact that we did it as a team :o)

We had beautiful weather and played alot outside... by Wednesday Dylan hit a sulky mood very grumpy and just aspergery. had to work thru that so I cleaned out his room and he got to choose where he wanted his furniture moved. It took me a whole movie to do it and he was so excited. He said its like a teenagers room and he is almost a teenager...NOT he is not even 10! and I remind him all the time. but Ialso realized that he is 1/2 there to being an adult!!! OMGsh! in 9 yrs he will be out!! This is flying by!!
Yesterday Jacob had his first soccer camp. Its 2 hours and he did NOT want to wear his leg braces. The dr said that was fine if he did'nt wear them but to be careful....soccer right,,,careful,,,,but again OMGsh that boy ran the whole time, was aggressive and knocked kids over....man If only he knew that you don't pick up the ball and you don't steal the ball away from your own team and that you are NOT the coach he will be a kick ass soccer player! who knew?! hes better at basket ball and he loved soccer...EXCEPT when they lost...got to work on that with him...he was...to say the least pi$$ed off! cried, steamed, was a Thom jr for sure. Secretly Thom and i loved that! Cerebral palsy my bucket. I wonder how he will wake up this morning, I wonder if he will be sore from all that running. He does wear his braces at night tho so he wont have to wear them during the day. It doesn't make sense to me why thats ok, but the doc said if he wears them at night he wont have to wear them during the day. What ever....
I will start posting pictures a soon as I figure out how to do that....

Great Mornings

Oh I love these mornings! Birds singing, coffee and the best is when my boys are happy!! I watched Dylan this morning really thinking on better choices that he can make in regards to his brother and we talked about it like buddies. I was still the parent but he is now understanding choice and consequences!! I love watching him grow like that!! Right now they are playing a game....they are squabbling, but when Jacob ran to blow his nose I had a quick chat with Dylan about problem solving and I am hearing him use those words!! So I had to type my feeling out so I remember these days...My devotions yesterday talked about BE blessed.......I am so blessed....even on the tough days :o)

Celebrate

Cell a brate good times!!!! come on!!!! lets get down and celebrate and have a good time!!!!

Dylan had a great day!!!! Wahoo!! No melt downs no telling a teacher thats shes the DEVIL and drives him crazy ( oh yes he did!) He said he stayed on green and got along with everyone and loved school today!!!!! SWEEEET Mother of pear what great news!!!

The Play

Dylan is in the play School House Rocks Jr. Friday night he did great I was so impressed. So Saturday all my (2 friends) came with their kids and well for starters I blame Thom for this whole mess b/c he gave 2 things of sugar(SERIOUSLY?!?!) to him at the movies right before.....he was a mess!! SOOO the play starts... we sat in the balcony a couple of families were laughing and they later told me Dylan was their humor ( it was done in taste and I agreed) He decided that he was SO done with this play, yawned, had his hands behind his neck, starred at ceiling,danced his own jig...bored.... singing the whole time tho, RAN OFF THE STAGE in the middle of a song and sat next to the director bc he was thirsty...WHICH she tells me later that he sat in her daughters seat so her daughter was freaking he sat there, director was looking around to find help (where was I..well I was in the balcony wanting to come down and my delicious husband told me to stop being a spaz and sit, its under control)(again Thoms fault) so she has him tight for she feared he would run off and kept telling her daughter to calm down WHILE directing the show, with one arm, the other was around Dylan.......I will be sitting front and center today....ANYWAY he gets back up there, notices that a girl needs to move a little, he tells her and she tells him and I quote "would you shut up already" EEEEEEKKKKK! well it was funny but I DID want to punch her very chubby cheeks.....in Dylans mind she was in the wrong spot and he was helping (she was).....then the boy next to him said something Dylan didn't like, so Dylan stuck out his tongue(SERIOUSLY?!?!?!) and told HIM he needs to get off the stage...its true it was time to get off but he wasn't, he soon realized oh yeah Dylans right and gets off the stage....again the balcony laughs...it was funny.....I guess....I laughed. I mean what else can you do? Its how his brain works....When it was over the balcony comes to us to tell us that Dylan made the show,,,Thom wants kill him and she said no way we love him and wants to get Dylan a gift. That is one good thing about living in a very small town. They all know Dylan and accept his quirkiness.....but they are adults, I worry about his peers.....The main character in the play, I had to hug him HUGE bc altho only in 4th grade, he has maturity of much older,,,Dylan was having a moment onstage at Fridays performance, I saw it starting I dont think the others did, I saw him turn and told Dylan its okay and calm down. He used his hands to show Dylan how to calm down. He was so sweet then carried on with his lines like it was nothing. I pulled him aside and thank him for being kind, He said Ms. Jones I have been doing this for a couple of months I know what Dylan needs, its OK, Well at least that is one peer that maybe around to help Dylan in life or at least for the moment. Did I mention Dylan has 5th disease which is in the chicken pox family....it was ITCHING on stage...I blame Thom...why? Because I can so there for I just did. Until next time.....all in a day SERIOUSLY

So this week :

Tuesday: i get a txt at 5:30 AM telling me that the teacher was sick and could I sub...I blindly txt back sure and hope she feels better, roll over and go back to sleep. Alarm goes off and I actually do my hair and face, get the boys off on time and walk into work early to get the day started . Thought it was weird the phone number didn't have her name attached...no warning bells, I see what looks like her car in the lot...No bells...The secretaries look at me and I said I'm Tammy today didn't anybody tell you,,,nope,,,no warning bells, they never are in the loop,,,,,go to her room and I see her purse,,,,mmmm little bells but still not getting it....see my boss she says Tammy is here...WEIRD,,,,see Tammy and she said nope didn't call/txt me so I then realize that a poor teacher somewhere out there in KY is sick and thinks that her sub has it under control since I txt her back saying it was under control...ooops so I call her to let her know of this huge mistake. She sounds like death..poor thing. how strange that off all the numbers this teacher could of messed up she got me, a sub, only in my life....
On Wednesday? My nice neighbor ( I have a scorpion one too, but she will be another story) came over, we were talking at the door when this...this...noise from my Shepard mix dog came over the air. I look down to see that my cat is safe ( Honey the dog has tried to kill it twice) and I am thinking what the cracker is Honey doing is she having a stroke. We run into the kitchen and to my horror (and my neighbors too) her sweet little pug had snuck in my house and wanted to share Honeys food...well Honey is a Bitch and she does NOT share and had the scruff of the pugs neck shaking her brains out. I start screaming , which set Dylan off, grab Honeys mouth and start to pry her mouth open. In that moment the poor pug was snapping for his life and nailed my leg...didn't feel it then, but oh baby I should of taken a picture. HUGE BRUISE!!! Finally Honey releases and we all run out to the front porch to get some fresh air!!! Luckily the Pug is OK his feelings were hurt but no holes!
Thursdy: Ok for all you haters that have wanting me to get fat...well here's a story you haters...I am in a Boot Camp here and have 7 people in it with me...I have to hide my problem areas because I will get egged if I complain. They give me a hard time and threaten to put protein powder in everything I eat so I get fat...well pppbbbbth on them ( I do love them, they are like sisters to me) I am going to look like Barbie again you wait and see powder puffers....I weighed 131 (shut up I know I am skinny) and I thought with all my healthy eating and working out I felt I could be at least a 127 lb. so they all went to get surmised.....they lost weight doing good and then me the princes gets on the weigh thingy pretending to be humble and cool .....OMGsh WHAT THE CHICKEN POX!!! I gained FOUR POUNDS!! I hate you all!
Friday: I get a call in my room that my boys school is on the line, this happens quit a bit and this time I said I have slipped into a coma and I refuse to take the call, well crap they made me take the call and it was the nurse.....Dylan has 5ths disease,,,,,scratching and going crazy. They said its no longer contagious and no fever just wanted me to now...GREAT thanks for letting me know (grumble grumble) and call me if he gets out of hand...well crap if it wasn't 10 minuets later that the teacher calls me and well he is having a meltdown,,,sooooo me being the most awesome mom ever with a bad attitude runs to CVS the biggest rip off store ever to get Benedryl and pick up my son. Well....he is also in a play Fri-Sunday and this is his first night and I am thinking great bring the camera! My son ladies and gents did AMAZING!!!! I cant wait to figure out how to upload all this and let you see. He did well even with the itches!!!
