Today was a good day.Tyler woke up in good spirits.I made him a to do list for the morning. He followed it and I think he liked not having me reminding him what he has to do. I am constantly figuring out new strategies to be one step ahead of his ODD. I figured giving him a bit more responsibility will allow him to wake up at his pace. granted I initially get him up at 615. After school he played first got his energy out and did his homework with no fuss. I live for our good days. no screaming,crying,massive meltdowns over trivial things. Tomorrow ODD may rear its ugly head so I enjoy the quiet down time. plus I can get a glimpse of the sweet boy who has a big heart,is knd,polite,non confrontational. Tyler has big brown sparkly eyes, long eyelashes I am jealous of.he has many friends,and he has so much potential. It is up to me to console,to guide,to listen,advise,and love him unconditionally.
