I miscalculated, and we ran out of JJ's meds today. We do not have a car and rely on family to get us places. He is currently on Intunive, and it help him so much with the anxiety and getting to sleep. When he does not have his meds, we are normally awake till 4 in the morning. He is so hard to focus. He goes into his spells where he doesn't seem to hear me. I have to physically take his hand, and even then,, he winds up on the ground in a fit.
So you can imagine my surprise today when I gave him "The look", and he registered. There are words we do not allow in our house. Stupid, Shut up, poop, dookie, etc... Well, he looked at a friend and called him a name that used the word poopy. I looked over to see him immediately look up at me. I was already ecstatic that he knew it was wrong. I then gave him "The Look". Then you could hear him say "Ooooooh!" as though he had this epiphany about the look I had given him. Like "Now that makes sense! All those looks were for something naughty I did!" I was laughing hysterically inside. It was so great to know that my look will do it's job! Now, If I could just get him to clean the play room!
Today tested my patience. Big time. I was proud though. The weather was nice and I sent them outside to play. They took off up and down the street with their friends, JJ played in the dirt as always. Lining up his cars on his "Dirt road" that he makes every day, only for me to sweep it up each night. I managed to get him in the shower tonight. As for dinner... looks like cheez its and some sprout TV!
