Progression Overload????

With the Autism Speaks Walk for Autism and Sam & Gabby's birthday party coming up, we are all in some sort of "overload" in the Sheidy household trying to get the house, yard and last minute details in order. I myself ended up at the doctors yesterday since I haven't been able to really move from my shoulders up since last Thursday night. I look absolutely ridiculous! I pray that no one tries to scare me at this point. It turns out that I have Severe Muscle Spasms going on in my neck...Perfect Timing! And Gabby, well let's just say Gabby has been being Gabby. Still having a hard time with toilet issues. I'm beginning to think that it's one of two things...1) She fell in one time and it scared her to death or 2) Everytime she attempts to potty with a dress on, the dress ends up in the toilet. So, why not just go in the pull-up? She's also been battling a cough for a while and we will be heading to Dr. Boobies" (it's really Dr. Bouviere, but that's what Gabby calls him) office tomorrow. Adam has turned our yard into a full blown "hick" yard. We've got a glass table top screwed into a tree stump that we will now use as a table, the camper is set up,and instead of filling in a hole from a tree we had removed in the front with topsoil and seeding it, he added some mulch and placed a wheelbarrel that I bought with potted flowers and placed it there (It actually looks pretty good). And as far as Sam, I think he's in major progression overload right now. We've been having a difficult time with him at night since the weekend. Lots and lots of whining. He's learning so much so fast that I believe he's not sure what to do with all these new things he now knows. However, It was so nice to pick him up from school today and hear him singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" so perfectly as he was walking down the hallway with Gabby. He's at the stage right now where if he doesn't get what he wants when he wants it, then watch out. Adam and I will be learning how to deal with moments like that since there is no reasoning with him right now. I've been getting the kids excited about their birthday party and he is now saying "I want party" all the time. We are all looking forward to the party for some well needed fun with family and friends. It's going to be a great day!
