One of those days...

Has anyone ever had one of those "Calgon, take me away" moments. Well, I had a few today. Not really a bad day, just a few of those moments where I am wondering what will happen next. And let me tell you, those "Calgon" days are where Logan being non-verbal is so frustrating. Although I am sure it much more frustrating for him than us. I think a lot of times he knows what he wants to tell us, but expressing it is where the problem lies. Sometimes I cry right along with him because I can't figure out what he wants from me. Be thankful if you do not have this problem. It seems like he goes through spurts where he will perform a certain behavior all the time. Right now there is one that drives me crazy. The boys share a tv in Logan's older brother's room. He has found the volume button on it and will crank it up as loud as it will go. I bet there are days I go in there 50 times or more to turn it down. No matter how many times you tell him to leave it alone, he is going to keep on. It would not be so bad except during the day my husband sleeps because of work. Some days I just look at him and shake my head. I am thinking to myself, " He knows what I want. He will wait till I leave the room and then go right back to the tv." So why can't he figure out how to put his socks on? He can take them off, but not put them on. One cute thing happened today though. I was in the kitchen listening to a Cd I made that has some songs from the 80's on it. Go ahead and laugh, my husband sure does. The song, "Mickey" by Tony Basil started playing. Logan walked into the kitchen and wanted me to pick him up. So I did and we danced around the kitchen to "Mickey". He was laughing because I was dipping him and he was hugging me so tight. Those are the moments I forget about autism. I just think how much I love my baby boy and how sweet he is!!!!
