I have to write this one down before I forget... it goes into the chapters of my book called "You really owe me one some day, kid!" One of Dylan's favorite books is 'Arthur's Underwear' where the main character has a dream that he forgets to wear his pants to school. Well, letting him read this has officially come back to bite me in the butt! On Sunday, Dylan was having a really "off" day where he was restless and needed constant movement and could not settle into much of anything at church. So, I was walking the halls with him when I let him go by himself into the boy's bathroom. BIG MISTAKE! He comes running out in just his underwear and dashes down the hall yelling "he forgot his pants!" Two older gentlemen from another congregation come running after him saying "here's your pants!" I wanted to pretend it wasn't my child. The men managed to convince him that they found his pants and he should put them back on. These are the times you can either laugh or cry! This is so how raising a child with autism goes. The day before was Saturday and we were at the park with some kids. He was interacting and playing and being such a typical child. I thought for a moment, "wow, he's come so far!" And enjoyed the short moment of him being barely indistinguishable from the other kids. The next day he was so in his own world and streaking down the halls of church in his underewear! Now some of you may say, that's every boy's dream. But, how many of you have actually seen a boy do that???!?!!!!!
