Now hear this

David has some keen hearing, when he sits at the table his back is towards the fridge, as soon as I open the fridge and get out his juice, just by the sound of the twist cap he turns around and gets up to get his juice cup. I tried doing it quietly at one time and he still caught on, funny kid.

Summer School

David is attending Summer School and he was pretty excited, he didn't whine or cry but very impatient when it came to the bus running late on the first day. The bus was suppose to arrive at 7:26 so we waited outside and within 15 minutes I decided to go back inside because it was getting hot. David did not like that but about 10 minutes later the bus came. David was on the bus and ready for a "hot" but fun day at school.

Happy Fathers Day

We went to an Italian place to eat some good pasta, there this place where we live called Joe's and luckily it was not crowded, David does not do well in crowded loud places. As we sat David enjoyed the big screen T.V. in front of him and like always he watches the sports ticker. Dinner was nice until David decides that his done eating and wants to whine about why were still sitting there and not leaving, to our amazement we all actually got to eat. We left and my husbands realizes that he needs to run an errand and re-routes the home direction, David maybe special but he knows the route home and its not long that he see's that we are not headed home and begins to whine even more. Slap on the music, "Alicia Keys" is the CD of the day for him and that calms him down. His cranky mood has been decreasing lately, he has gotten to his old self again, being lovable and hug-able boy that he usually is. Happy Fathers Day to everyone and be kind and patient to the little one's in our lives that don't know any better.

sick and sad

David has had the sniffles since Saturday at first I thought it was his allergies so I gave him his allergy medicine, well this morning he woke up with a runny nose and slight fever, he was also cranky which tells me that he does not feel well if his cranky mood last all day. So I gave him his medicine for his cold because he loves to take medicine it makes it so much easier to tend to him when his sick. All day he has been whinny and complaining about what is on television and his dvd player. He refused to take a nap and was not as hungry as usual he just wanted to snack a lot. So bed time it is for Mr. cranky pants, put him to bed at 8p.m. instead of his usual time 8:30. So we'll have to wait till tomorrow to see if the Nyquil did its job.

Oh oh he had an episode

When my son had water day at school, he came home in a very good mood, he just loves the water. So after he gets in the house I turned on the T.V. to Netflix and put on his Yo Gabba Gabba, he got very excited. Then he just became so over whelmed with his sensory that he got sentimental and began to tear up, whine and then cry. So I had to turn the T.V. off and hug him, sing to him and repeat to him that everything is ok. David has not had an episode like that in a long time, I also noticed that when he walks he wants to turn his foot inwards instead of flat, I acknowledge his new habits because they mean something to me, it could be a draw back or improvement just depending how you look at it. So I wanted to share this with everyone so that they are aware that behaviour in children with special needs has to be paid attention to, you have to assist  your own child and learn from that so you can work with them to improve their daily lives.

Say Cheese

When David was a child it was easier to take photos of him because he seem to be "in the zone" a lot, for example watching T.V. or playing with a toy. Since he has gotten older he is very spastic in his movements, unintentional movements by his hands or just his swagging back and forth. So when we take pictures of David sometimes we get lucky and other times we just get a smudge of his image, it's not easy to be photo ready but it is funny at times. David can care less if the camera is in his face, he thinks its a toy with the red flashing light before the photo, he see's his image in the viewer and thinks its a T.V. David is curious in his own way when it comes to taking pictures and I love that about him.
