One of the things that we want to begin this week is some new Christmas traditions with the boys. We've never really done anything major over the holidays and especially leading up to them.  Ever since Lizze and I went through our separation and subsequent reconciliation, we've gained a new appreciation for things like this.  I'm not sure what we're going to do but when I was a kid, we used to make a big deal about the holiday TV specials. Lizze and I were kicking around the idea of making a special night out of this and having caramel popcorn or something like that. Lizze wants to do some Christmas light chasing as well. That's free and fun. :-) We want this to be less commercial and more about family.  The…

The boys were up early once again. This is beginning to become a habit.  I got up with them between 6am and 7am. Everyone's in a good mood and that's always a great way to begin the day.   Gavin's in the middle of his IVIG infusion this morning because we didn't get to it last night. So far, he's doing great with it.   I let Lizze sleep in while the boys and I hung out watching Ant Man.  There really aren't any plans for today. My main and most ambitious goal is survival. Anything that goes above and beyond that lofty goal is just a bonus..  ☺ 

It's proving to be a decent day here in The Autism Dad household. We're watching a movie with the boys and Gavin's sleeping off his morning medications still.  Lizze might be venturing out into the Black Friday craziness with her Mom after dinner.  The boys and I just might go Pokémon hunting at some point but it's really cold out.  Anyway, things have been improving since this morning and for that I'm grateful.. ☺ 

Elliott's been incredibly animated this morning for some reason.  He's all over the place and frankly, driving me crazy. I'm feeling a bit rundown today and not wanting to do much of anything. Even though we had a pretty awesome day yesterday, it was still stressful and exhausting. I'm probably just needing to recover a bit. I hope everyone is doing well and if you're venturing out into the madness of Black Friday, be careful... ☺
