Escape Artist

First I must begin by telling you that it has not been a horrible day just PLAIN WIERD!

I turned on my phone like I do every morning, made coffee, made sure all the baby gates were up and got Alex out of bed. When I picked up my phone to see what Facebook,Twitter or Email messages I had I found that it was telling me storage memory full for my Email. Hmmm I deleted everything and it was still there, ok went about the day as usual.

We began the morning watching Shrek, ( I found out last night that Alex enjoyed all the music in it!) that was a nice discovery since he generally will not watch tv unless there are monsters, which yes an Ogre is a moster he did not notice that one bit lol.

When the movie ended we decided to go to the park, a friend of ours gave my husband tickets for a BBQ that our local Shriners had there. So far so good right? Nope!

As I was getting Alexs diaper bag prepared for our little outing My husband was putting the carseat in the car, I saw Alex follow his daddy and watch him install the seat. No big deal, daddy had him all was good. daddy comes in, shuts the screen door, (at this time I realise I better get Alexs pediasure. As I am pouring his pediasure into his cup I see out of the corner of my eye Alex running Full Throddle down the Alley!

My heart jumped out of my chest and I screamed at the top of my lungs,ALEX!!!! I dropped the cup and my purse3 and ran like a mad womanafter him. I found him hiding on the side of our white Chevy Silverado laughing at our demise and the pleasure of his Great Escape was beaming all over his litte face, he was sooo proud of himself!

We finally got him into the car and we were on our way. When we got there we saw that they were having a Car Show So we decided to go look at the cars after we finished eating.

 At my surprise he ate a little coleslaw and a piece of bread, (we celebrate when he eats)!  Everything was going smoothly UNTIL… we took the left over food that he did not eat to the car. He bolted again!!! We chased him through the park like two crazy people, it is not easy to find a 28 pound little boy in a sea of cars to hide behind! We finally caught our little escape artist and daddy remembered that we had a stroller in the trunk of our car, So we put Alex in the stroller and enjoyed the car show.

Shortly after arriving home my sister in law, brother and nephew came for a visit, they helped me put my phone back to original settings. While they were helping me the boys played a little together and a little around each other. Alex will be 3 September 3rd.  My nephew N, is 4 months older than Alex. they took turn bouncing on Alex little trampoline, that was the extent of playing (kinda together). N, was trying to play with Alex but Alex just kept playing near him but not “with him”. 

My sister and niece, (my niece is almost 2) arrived at our home shortly after my brother, sis in law and nephew. We had a little family gathering. 🙂 The cycle continued, Alex would not play “with” them but near them. However I must say that I was delighted that he did not climb up on my lap and stay there the whole time, that is what he usually does, so there is progress! The 3 children did great! I am so proud of all of them! There was no physical violence this time yay! (usually Alex does something to injure one of them). I was so happy he didn’t hurt the other 2 children!

As you may or may not know why I am so excited about these small things Alex was dianosed with PDD-NOS and 15q13.3 duplication, this is why no matter how small the achievement is we celebrate to the max! Yay Alex for getting along with your cousins, Mommy is so proud of you!

When they all left I commenced to attempting to download all of my stuff back on my phone, that took me 2 hors because I could not remeber all of the user names and passwords, duh… Well I am happy to announce that my phone is finally back online after 2 hours worth of redoing everything lol.

Question, I know Alex is not sick but he has been gagging almost vomiting his pediasue all day, I haven’t had a problem with this in a long time any Ideas on what might be causing it?

Well I suppose that is all for now, Rt’s, Shares and Comments are Welcome! 🙂

Nervous Wreck

First I want to apologize to everyone for being so distant the past several weeks. I have been going through the “Rage Phase”, and I the last thing I want to do is bring my new wonderful Special Needs Family down with me, so I felt that it would be better if I stayed quietly hiding in the background. I have been online and reading everyones posts so please don’t think I have been ingnoring anyone on purpose.
