Well, I've decided that NOTHING is safe from Taylor anymore. Somehow he managed to get hold of a green CD pen and decided it was hilariously good fun to colour himself green. Must admit it was very funny but i had to give him a bath in lightening speed before it dried out too much as it's harder to remove that stuff than it is a permanent marker pen lol. I was debating whether or not to take a picture but i didn't have time!!!
I am sooo glad I'm not the only one with a rebel child. My m8 textd me last night to tell me her phone was knackered as her son (he's autistic too) decided it would be good fun to dunk it in a brew and try eating it hehehe and as she said we have to laugh or we'd just be none stop crying all the time. There truly isn't a dull moment with these two and i am so glad Dana found them lol. She got to know them through her friend at school, they are in different classes but the same age, and Taylor & Elliot are the same age too, except Taylor is being mainstreamed and Elliot is going to a special needs school. They are so different yet just the same in way's it's really strange!!
When people tell you it really does help to find someone else who's in the same situation as you or join a support group they are 100% right. The Early Bird course helped us in so may ways on so many different levels. We met other people experiencing the same problems as us and some problems we never had a problem with. We all ended up really good friends and are all meeting up again in September sometime to start a support group and we're all enrolled to go on the Early Bird Plus course for 5-7yr olds. The course itself was really good for information and tips etc but the best part of it was the sharing our experiences and worried with the rest of the group. Also like i said finding Tracy helped, for one she only lives around the corner from us and for two we can relate with each other on so many different levels and learn from each other's children as well as each other. And it also helps to have a shoulder to cry on from someone who knows exactly what you're going through. Family if you're lucky enough are just as good but they don't fully understand and other friends too as I've found out. They know the situation but still just think of Taylor as being a 'naughty boy' and it seriously winds me up, to the point where i avoid taking him to certain people's houses at all costs because of the repercussions on us all, the good thing about that is it doesn't in anyway shape or form affect or bother Taylor so alls good lol. I just go on my own when i have the time.
I know i said it yesterday but 2 weeks today until Taylor starts school and I'm starting to get excited now (still terrified) we're taking Dana to town tomorrow to go and get her school shoes and then we're doing Taylor's last minute shopping on Friday next week while Dana is at school. She goes back a week today and it's easier to shop without her sometimes, when they're both together in town it can quite easily become a nightmare scenario as everything that Taylor gets, she wants lol She's nearly 10yr old and still doesn't quite grasp the fact that he 'needs' stuff that she doesn't but she still sees it as him being spoilt and her being left out!!
The papering of the living room is still going ahead tomorrow. Taylor is going to mums until Sunday when hopefully it'll all be done and dusted. My new throws for the sofa came today but they're a bit smaller than i expected so Tracy has come to the rescue with some bigger ones, so we're calling up for a brew tomorrow to have a look. I just hope my new cushion covers come before Sunday or mine won't look right as the one's i have now are gold lol. Never mind, we can't always have everything i suppose hehehehe. xXx
