The high light of my day so far is a little autistic boy I'll call John. I got a call to sub in the same class room (for a different aid) that I worked in last week. While sitting out on the play ground with john in my lap (he likes to snuggle) the O.T. came to get him. The teacher asks John to say "good bye" to me. (John is non verbal). I took off my sun glasses to look him in the eye. John looks at me square in the eye (a rarity for his level) and put his hand on my cheek. I almost started crying. He has similar traits that my son had at that age.
Thankfully it is not as hot today, I got the swim suits out to take Pudd'n to the pool before I go into work.But he put them back, indicating that he did not want to go. This surprised the hell out of me. The kids lives for the water. I picked up a shift tonight, I made shit for money this weekend. The van was giving me problems all day with starting. It has not been a good day for me at all. I think I will go and take a "nap" or something like that while Pudd'n bounces off of my head.
