Another day

Well it's another day in the Downs home. Granted we were all out of the house today, work and school. It's been a good day. I have to say I am sorry. I tend to write a lot when our days are bad, but if your reading my blog you should hear just as much about our good days.

I am finding that as R gets older he is turning into a "non morning" person. I am so not a morning person, never have been. So I am learning to not base my day on morning attitudes. That being said I like to send R off to work and talk to him at 9 before I make a choice on  how his day is going. Today is good. He made me laugh today, I know he is ok when he makes me laugh.

He goes to counseling tomorrow. I am so curious to know how it's gonna go. He is willing and ready to go, I am sure he will be a little nervous tomorrow but lift prayers that he will stay strong and go to his appointment.

We have church tonight. I teach the kids. I know we'll have fun. I kinda like staying busy. The older I get the more I like staying busy and since I am busy when I have down days I make sure I do nothing! I am know to be lazy and I am darn good at it!

Isn't it funny sometimes we can be something and not know it? We ordered Autism awareness t-shirts from AJ's teacher a few weeks ago and they came in. AJ brought them home today and is very proud of them. He asked to me read what was on the front and I did. I don't think it's ever come out of my mouth " AJ you have autism". I choked up and he just went about what he was doing with out a hitch. Our son is the most amazing boy I know. I had my doubt(if I a being honest) when he was younger. We couldn't go out and do anything but church b/c he always had a hard time understanding his boundaries and wasn't potty trained until he was 5. My God has allowed him to make so many leaps and bounds in the last 5 years and God has protected and guided him into this wonderful kid who we enjoy being around. He is a daddy's boy through and through. Loves cars and working hard with R. I think he is a help to R where some of us can't be. There is a special bond there created for both of their good.
