Wishful Thinking

My little man gave me a run for my money yesterday...
I lost the battle of staying one step ahead by 10:00am, and things just kept going down hill from there.
Here is a list of messes I cleaned up yesterday...peanut butter, 3 bowls of cereal, a box of cereal, popcorn, poop (sad, but true), marker, a can of coffee grounds, 4 smashed eggs, water, juice...I could go on, but I think you get the picture.
Needless to say, by the end of the day I was completely EGGsausted. I thought his extreme dumping days were over. I guess not. Waaaaaaa!
Last night, he was watching this Youtube video (which is probably the best ice cream cone - cupcake receipe I've ever seen)...
After each set of instructions, Griffin said, "Mmm hmm, mmm hmm," like he was going to get right up and start making them.
I'd like to imagine it was because he was feeling a little bit bad for running me ragged, and he thought maybe he'd surprise me with a sweet treat to show his appreciation.
Oh, wait, he can't make cupcakes, we're out of eggs. Darn!
Also, if you didn't already know, April is AUTISM AWARENESS MONTH. Check out this site right here for lots of great info.
I don't know (officially) if my boy has autism. A lot of the earlier signs and symptoms he had have gone away. He gets the same services at preschool (because of his speech delay) with or without a diagnosis...ABA therapy, OT, PT, etc... I have discussed the whole thing with his teacher and her answer is, "It's too soon to tell," and she is the Autism teacher.
Although, I found a lot of my life with my boy on this blog right here, and when a store clerk asked me a couple of weeks ago if he had autism, I flat out said, "yes".
I have a lot on my plate as a single mom with two other kiddos (one with an ADHD diagnosis), so my philosophy is that I will solve each problem, and cross each bridge, as I come to it.
I am not in denial. Although, denial seems like a nice place to be...there are homemade cupcakes there.
