You can leave now, Mommy.

I dozed off while snuggling with CME at bedtime. He was telling me a "story" about his favorite game, Halo Wars, while we shared his big comfy pillow. I guess I must have tuned him out because next thing I know, he's shaking my belly, saying, "Mommy?... Mommy?... You can leave now Mommy... Time for bed... Go now..."

Today was a good day. It was quiet. There has been lots of battling between the two boys lately, but today was pretty peaceful. We're getting Matty evaluated next month with Sensational Kids. He's starting to show some sensory seeking behaviors, and he's definitely having impulse control problems. CME had a rough day at school, but only because he didn't want to do his phonics. Other than that, he was fine. It was his first red card in a month, so I can't complain too much.

I've got all the paperwork back to the dev. ped. and am expecting a diagnosis soon. She did say she'd call before our June appointment, but I'll give her a week and call the office to double check. I'm getting impatient. It will either be Aspergers, High-Functioning Autism or PDD-NOS. My money's on Asperger's. I'm also waiting for the schools to get back to me with the next step for getting him in 1st grade.

Not much else to report. I've been working on a knock-off version of the Circle Vest, but I don't like how my makeshift edging is looking, so I'll probably frog it back to the arm holes. It's a nice yarn to knit with, so I won't mind doing it again.

Things are really feeling very monotonous lately. I'm not sure if the upcoming summer break is going to be an improvement, but at least it'll be different.
