Twilight Zone

     I feel like I have been in the Twilight Zone lately because things have been going so good. Don't get me wrong I am no where close to complaining, its just odd for so many good days in a row. Lets start with school

Luke hasn't had one meltdown yet at school. The only time he came close to one was during group singing time and the ST took him out of the room for a walk to avoid it. He is doing his tasks and routines like a friggin champ and his therapies are going awesome. He is signing 'more' without prompts now for tons of stuff, at school and home. Go little man!

     Lets move on to this weekend. I have posted before about Luke starting to stack things on the TV, he is also doing it on a table now. Do I mind? No not at all. The way he looks at it, its like an art piece he is trying to perfect. He loves doing it, its becoming more and more common now. The one thing I do not like about it is if I need something he puts up there...taking something is a big no no! You will invoke the wrath of bad ass monster Luke. So we have to be careful about what we take and only take when need it.

Also this weekend he engaged in real play for the first time since the changes happened. He was playing with his sister and the neighbor boy Tommy. He wanted to run with them and play in the play house with them. I cant even put into words how I felt...it was amazing! He kept looking for them and waiting for them to follow him. As soon as they would run he would take off too. I was in bliss.

Then we went to a Hot Air Balloon Festival in the next town over. He had an amazing time riding the rides with his big sister. I am sure she has to love it to. She does not understand what has happened to her relationship with her brother but I know she loves spending time like this with him again. They used to be best buds and I am sure one day they can get back to it. He had a rough time letting go of his dinosaur toy he took with him when he had to get on the rides but then he would smile so big. It was nice to do that as a family. I never know if he will be over stimulated or not but he handled it like a bad ass.

Things have been going smoothly at home too. He is going and sitting on the potty to pee (not consistently but I'll take it), he isn't backed up in the bowels department anymore, thank God and he has been over all very happy. He is letting me work with him on the iPad. Not as long as I would like but he is showing me things everyday that I didn't know he could do. Again THANKS POPPA JEFF for the iPad. Without it, I wouldn't know all the things he could do, trapped inside that little mind of his.

     I must be in the Twilight Zone! Things have been wonderful without any bad days. Usually when Luke has a good day its followed by a bad one or two...ALWAYS. Like I said I would be insane if I was complaining but maybe I am just waiting for the pin to drop lol! Is that normal? Am I alone in this thought? Ok, good maybe I am not insane after all. I am loving this phase and I am hoping it's not just a phase...that we keep moving forward and have tons and tons of awesome days.
