Lullaby needed


The annual block sale at my aunt's house was today. And what a beautiful day! Last year was freezing and wet, but today was perfect. We went to the game store last night and got a new game for D's Gameboy that he could play all day today. He was very very good for the most part. My cousin's boy was there too, and they sat and played their Gameboys together. Afterwards, A came back to our house and played for a couple of hours. Unfortunately for him, this consisted of a lot of bossing by D and being a spectator as D played basketball and rode his bike. I eventually got him to come in and play videogames with me instead of standing around being bored.
We only had one meltdown today which was in fact very similar to actual melting. Amazing since he had such a hard time going to sleep last night. I layed down next to him for a while and rubbed his back, but no dice. I do believe he was trying to sleep, too, and not just goofing. So there was big huge potential for sour crabby boy.
I'm afraid that the no sleeping thing may be a side effect of the Adderall. He also ate next to nothing. He wanted to try Subway, but complained that the half of his meatball sub that I cut for him was too big. So he ate 3 inches of sub, no breakfast since he slept in late, a handful of cheetos and a bite of bagel for lunch, and half a piece of pizza and some salad for dinner. He said he's just never hungry anymore. I suspect another side effect. I offered him things throughout the day, just to make sure he wasn't too distracted or forgetting to eat. He just didn't want anything. Poor baby.
We saw a rainbow on the way back to his other house.
