Bath time Drama..

Just had to blog over this one.....

 

    William has overcame his fear of getting a bath. At the beginning of last school year the kid would stand in the water and let me wash him..Over the course of the year he slowly became used to sitting in the water. Then he became very confident with the faucets and started turning them off and on. He learned how to adjust the hot and cold settings. I'm just waiting for the day he decides to turn on the shower.. I hate to even think of how that's gonna go down.. I "NORMALLY" keep a eye on the water level.. He barely had the water running so I figured I had enough time to finish a load of laundry while he took his bath..... SO. Their I was.. Folding cloths and I heard a Big..I mean Big Splash... !! I took off running to the bathroom and there he stood.. He looked at me and say..OH NO A MESS !! I was like Umm... Mess is a understatement..It was more like the Grand Rapids Rolling over the edge of the tub and headed for the hallway..If that wasn't enough.. William looked at me and said... I sit down..He did a Baby cannonball and another TITAL waved rolled over the edge of the tub this time making it to the hallway.Lets not forget the Floor vents the water was pouring into ..it looked like Niagra Falls. . My first reaction  to all of this was to grab towels and start soaking up all the water. Then I pulled the stopper in the tub  & turned the water off . If I wasn't in such a mad dash I would have made William help mr clean up his mess.. But considering it's mainly my fault why even attempt it..I am the one who lets him play with the faucets and the laundry could have waited.. Owell... We live and learn.. But the good part of this is My bathroom floor is clean.. LOL

A New Idea

 William has been playing with straws lately . I'm not sure what new Obsession he's gonna be one now but I can make this a Positive impact for him. Last night I decided to put a straw in my coke can and hand the entire thing to William just to see what he would do. First I told him to blow bubbles. He did and thought that was the Funniest thing..Then I told him to drink..Which he did..(Yeah all that caffeine had us up late) He chocked himself a little at first but after a few times practice I think he's got it down. I never knew mastering the Skill of drinking threw a straw would open so many New doors for him. Today While I was at Walmart I got drinking cups w/ straws. I picked up a few different flavors of kool aid just to make an see what he would think.

 

I have also been debating on what to leave out for William to find and "HOPEFULLY" try. I showed William a Lunchable that had ham and slice cheese and crackers in it. I has opened the fridge a couple of times and looked at it. He hasn't asked me to open it but..I feel it's just a matter of time..

 

 

** OH Before I forget..We had Lovely Pizza last night. I even managed to put green beans on William half..He ate every bit..LOL.. The Sneeky Momma strikes again. I have ordered a book called the Sneeky Mom too lol  I've very excited over that .**

I'm Just Compelled to blog something..

I've been compelled to Blog this morning. About what.?.Well I'm not quite sure..Just a New post for my Growing Blog readers to view and know I'm completely off my Rocker.... Why Blog you ask?..Well..Actually blogging helps me. It has successfully kept me from hitting know it all old ladies that gossip about your kid. Family Members that know of the blog but haven't read it want to be nicer to you for a fear you might talk about them to everyone. I have also accomplished keeping everyone who would like to know stay informed of how William in doing . That way there is no..You told her before me stuff..Well except for the family members that don't go to my blog..Owell.. Moving right along..

William has 4 New Women in his life.. I know such a Ladies man he has become. Last year he wouldn't let anyone really near him.. This year he's got'um smooching on him and all... I tried to get some sorta compassion in the morning when I drop him off but I get no love ..So Once again I'm the Lady that gave him a ride to school....

Okay so Williams Newest things.. Well As of yesterday he tried a New Candy. A Airhead. A few weeks ago he tried a sweet tart. Now I'm thinking I might just start leaving some eye appealing food on the Kitchen Table. Curiosity never killed anyone. If he is willing to try something I'm gonna help him. Even if he doesn't realize I'm helping him. He likes to be in control of his surroundings . That's okay to a Certain extent them I'm the Mean old Mommy again because I know what's best for him. (OMG I SO SOUND LIKE MY MOM..LOL) ..Over the summer break William would watch me make cupcakes and cakes and Brownies. He would never try them..Until the weekend of his Daddys Birthday. I saw that William took a cupcake from off the table and went to his room with it and ate the icing off of it..Which is great he did but I then started having to keep a Watchful Eye what he wanted to try to run off with.

His Language is improving all the time. He asked for things all the time. If he really wants something it's followed by Please. I don't even answer his wants unless he says please. It sounds mean but he knows the drill. Plus I'm not having to prompt him to say the please. He knows thats what he should say. He gets to play on the computer at school.So he doesn't fuss with me much over it here at home.YEAH !~ Facebook here I come..LOL. He is learning how to Share one way or the other. So We are still making progress. He has tried to run the show at school on several occasions. I'm so Glad for Teachers that have Skills...Stern but Gentle and Understanding of my Child and his needs...even if it calls for stealing all my Kisses... Owell.. It's a improvement and I'll take it either way I can get it..

Williams Birthday update:

Williams 5th Birthday was a Hit. Sense he prefers only a selected group of People I opted to only Invite Grandparents. It was a Easy fix for us and with the way our Finances are these days it was reasonable.
I knew a big crowd of people would be too much for him. However we did attend his classmates Birthday bash the day before and he did good for about 40 minutes then it was Hell !. He wanted all of the presents and the cake and started screaming. I felt like we were going to ruin his party so we thanked them all for inviting us and wished Happy Birthday to Michael and we were outta there.... But we went and tried it and that's all I know how to do..

His own party was much more pleasant. A smaller Crowd and his Own Cake and Presents. William enjoyed that so much. I put up a Birthday banner and asked William what it said..He told me "Happy Birthday".. I was a little star struck but I'm not surprised by how much stuff he really knows. He chooses to NOT show you all his knowledge unless he wants too. Typical male trait.. He enjoyed us singing Happy Birthday to him. He's been singing it to himself for four days now. . Along with the Itisy Bitisy Spider and Row ,row, row your boat.

But it was a Great Day and Weekend.

Are we really having this conversation again ??

The Source of the of the person who made the Comment about Females being the Carrier of the Autism Gene Was reveled and got a taste of her own Medicine last night. Apparently no one wanted to tell her she was giving away info that had no real truth.. Well.... She caught me at the wrong time.. I'm very sensitive when it comes to that subject and I felt She was taking a stab at me over it.. If I was about 15 years younger and had no manners, I would have jumped the table we were sitting at and smacked her.. But I didn't.. I told her she was wrong. I told her that we, My Mother in law & I, Questioned Dr.Pearlmen over it. He said and I Quote
" That info is not available right now. There is no real way of telling who the carrier is. Maybe in the year 2020 we will know that answer but not now". I couldn't believe she thought she was going to tell be that and not expect some sort of reaction. On top of that I can't believe no one wanted to stand up for myself Or William.. SOME FREAKING FAMILY I HAVE OVER HERE !! Just because your older doesn't mean you are wiser..! Get your facts straight before you start broadcasting it all over Town..

In Honor of Williams 5th Birthday

I can't believe my Baby will be 5 years old soon. I rememebr the day I found out I was pregnant just like it was yesterday. It was close to valentines day and Williams daddy got a Pair baby socks as a Gift. . . Anywhoo... Yesterday I heard William in hall closet. I didn't think anything of it untill I saw his new hat. . .





Five years ago this Sunday @ 6:47 PM. After 11 hours and 47 minutes of Labor My Beautiful little boy was born. We were so proud . Daddy went to the Gift shop and got this Hat to hang on our Door.. Now... William thinks it is his new toy..
