Joe doesn't normally pick up the kids prescriptions, but today Joe did. I was with him, but stayed in the car.

It through the pharmacy off as well. They were not sure if they should give him Carson's meds or not. Anyway, I sent him a text telling him that he needed to make sure they mixed it. Apparently, he didn't get the text because when he came back out to the car, I looked and it was not mixed. He had to take it back in and ask them to mix it.

Long story short, it was entertaining seeing him be dad and pick up prescriptions.

 

 

Carson is throwing a tantrum because mom is done treating him like a baby and is making him fold and hang his own laundry.

He has also had to help with dishes recently and boy oh boy, the tantrums just keep coming.

Carson's teacher told me that he has been extra emotional this past week, but now that I think about it, I think I understand why. He is used to everyone doing everything for him, and now that we are trying not to do everything for him, he has been over emotional.

I'll have to remember to send a note to his teacher explaining it on Monday so that she is prepared.

 

This was one of the best shows we have seen as a family. Carson was even interested in the show. He loved it!

Normally, when we go places, he isn't too interested in whatever it is that we are seeing/doing.

Getting ready to leave to go to dinner and this part came on TV (we were watching a movie)that this girl snuck out of the house so Carson says we better hurry up and leave before Quynsie decides to sneak out of her bedroom.

 

Oh heaven help me! I am sitting here blogging and I hear Joe ask Carson to take his poopy pull up outside to the garbage can and Carson told him..."That is not a kids job!".

Joe then says, it is when you are 7 and still messing your pants. Your not 2 and therefore you can take it out to the trash.

See, I told you that he has been treated like a baby for way to long. (For clarification, we have never taken care of his poopy pull up since he started pooping his pants a year ago, we always make him take care of it).

This Sensory, ODD, ADHD and Autism stuff is hard to understand and it is even harder to explain to others like our extended family. They think that we should have put a stop to the messing of the pants a long time ago, but the truth is, we have tried everything. We have tried taking video games, toys and other privileges away, we have yelled, we have talked calmly, you name it, we have tried it. The fact of the matter is, he isn't going to change the behavior unless he wants to. He is now getting teased at school for wearing a pull up, but that doesn't even seem to stop him. It makes him mad and he is embarrassed, but he still won't stop. The only person that can change the behavior is Carson himself.

 

I am working on a new chore chart/plan for this family because what we are doing now isn't working anymore and we need to add Carson to the mix.
