To start off my friday E woke up at 3 a.m. WIDE AWAKE. We tried to get him back to sleep but it just didn't happen. So I laid on the couch while he played a video game (mom of the year) lol He talked NONSTOP from the time he woke up. I wish I had a dollar for every time I heard 'mommy mommy...' between the hours of 3-6 a.m. So he had Occupational Therapist (OT) at 10. I took him in. He was in a good mood. I go back with- him and tell his therapist that he started vyvanse and to let me know if she noticed any change in him for the next few weeks. The kid did not shut up the entire time. He had a meltdown because he got sand in his mouth and wanted to go get it out but his Occupational Therapist (OT) wanted him to first clean up the mess from the sand. {I would have just let him get the sand out first then go clean it up....} <---that was insane but whatever. Then at the end of the session the Occupational Therapist (OT) let him color some skylanders pictures. E is OBSESSED with skylanders. He colored 2 pages and he was told that he could take an extra one home. He wanted to take the other 2 home. He started saying how he promised his skylanders that he would bring them a reward. Which is crazy but this was his argument. His meltdown/arguing lasted for 30 min. He got so upset. it was unreal. I finally got him out of there. We did manage to still have a good day despite his meltdowns. but this kid has talked all day and not just being 'a little chatty' I mean every thought that has entered his mind has come out of his mouth. My head was spinning. I'm wondering if it's a side effect from the medicine. I am praying that he isn't like this tomorrow. *but* he was very calm today. I took him shopping with me, which usually is a disaster, he was great. So well behaved and walked instead of running. That was my friday. Now I'm ready for a glass of wine now that the kids are in bed.
