Good news is that Gavin seems to be having a better day, at least so far. As I mentioned before, yesterday was rather difficult for him and subsequently us as well. The poor kid struggled with simple things, like managing the front door lock, washing a pot we needed for dinner, self awareness, and remembering just about anything we told him. It was frustrating for him because he kept making mistakes and he doesn't like making mistakes. This morning however, he seems to be firing on all cylinders, at least for him. He also appears to be in a much better mood. I'm totally okay with this and I'm grateful he's found some peace today. ☺

Gavin really struggled today. I'd be hard pressed to narrow down a specific area that he struggled in because it was pretty much everything. Maybe he was just having an off day but it was a rough one. The most obvious thing about the last 24 hours is that Gavin seemed unable to remember how to do a great many things. As an example, he couldn't figure out how to open the front door and that's pretty straightforward. I'm going to get more into this in the morning but right now, I'm completely exhausted and the kids are home for the next five days. I need to try and get some sleep.

The boys had a pretty awesome morning. Minimal drama and high levels of cooperation, made for a far less stressful morning than yesterday. Nevertheless, it's a chaotic morning because there's so much that needs done. The kids got to school on time and at present, I'm waiting for Gavin to finish his bloodwork. We only have a small window for that to get accomplished because I also have to have Lizze on the other side of town for a doctor's appointment. At some point, I have to hit the grocery store, swing back to pick Lizze up and head home to get some work done. The kids need picked up from school and we have family therapy. I'm one of those people who very much dislikes chaos be a use…

The boys came home from their grandparent's house and immediately began bickering. That bickering soon turned to fighting and led to Emmett freaking out for over an hour. I don't know why this evening has been so particularly difficult but they had a great visit with their Grandparents. It could simply have been a long day or maybe it's the holiday creeping closer and closer. Perhaps it's nothing out of the ordinary and they're just fighting because that seems to be what they do best anymore. It's funny how six hours or so of rest, can be undone in minutes.
