Well, my plan to blog about brushing everyday didn't happen. In fact, the brushing and joint compressions, have not happened.
I tried to make this happen but being a full time working Mommy and sometimes getting others on board is the much harder task. I do sometimes do joint compressions when SuperE is wound up and it does seem to calm him down and it does seem like he will focus more. The brush is tucked away in a drawer for future reference.
There have been some good things going on in our life lately. SuperE is still quirky as ever. However, I do see improvement in behavior. He has good days and he has some bad days. Today at church he wasn't horrible but he had some behavior that we are still trying to get him to control. You see, SuperE, always feels like he has to bring something with him whether it is a toy rocket or something as simple as a toy block. I wonder if this is just something that brings him comfort? Perhaps. Well, today it was a red Lego block. For some reason, he could not pull himself together, he could not control the impulsivity, and ended up running all over the building. Finally, he found his way to me. Of course, I had to firmly tell him that this was an unexpected and unacceptable behavior. I also informed him that if this continued that I would have to call Daddy to come take him home. He says to me, "But Mommy, all I need is my red block. That's the only problem and then I promise I won't run anymore." I guess he just couldn't get the words out to his teacher to explain the thing that he needed. I told him that next time he needed to ask Ms. C to bring him to me if he wanted to get something. I also explained how running around the building was an unexpected behavior and that he could not do that and we have rules to keep us safe and others safe too.
Some days you just never know what is going to happen next.
The best thing that happened this afternoon...lots of hugs and snuggles with my little man! =)
Here's to another week of quirks...but I am ready...BRING IT ON!
