an hour or so in my life

[cassidyrose]

If you've ever wondered what my days are like, here you go...The first thing L. did this morning was get up, get a popsicle from the freezer and feed it to his stuffed sheep. A bit later he found a glow stick in S.'s room and stuck it into the side of the air purifier creating a horrific noise which terrified him and required me dismantling purifier to get it out. He was eating a banana a while ago and I noticed it was gone. I asked him where it was...he brought me to the family room and showed me where he had put it...in the track of the sliding glass door, gratefully still encased in its peel. I was loading the dishwasher and he was focused on *unloading* the cooking utensil drawer. Just a moment ago he was following Harlie around trying to feed her his muffin. And just now he tried to stand on an office chair on wheels to attempt the retrieve on of Peter's radios from his desk. Oh, and we've only been up for a couple of hours because he had an epic middle of the night meltdown which kept me up until 4:30. And today? Today is what I consider a clam and relatively uneventful day with him (so far) as I have yet to find him *in* the bathroom sink, working on his knife skills with butter knives, or ingesting a non-food item.

And that is just with him at home and S. at school. Soon we go get S. and it can go either way after that. Sometimes they play together really well, and other times I have to just separate them as I cannot tolerate the screaming anymore. L. is in *constant* motion, and generally getting into constant trouble, or threatening to. We had to watch S. closely, but L. takes it to eleven..
