Birthdays in the army are a bit hit and miss. Last year kevin missed Azures birthday because of a rotation. This year he has to miss it for 24hour staff duty. So we kinda delayed azures birthday a bit till monday.
Thank god Az is young enough where he doesn't know its even his birthday. I fact if you sing him Happy Birthday you will witness an EPIC melt down.
So for his "semi birthday" we kept it low key.
Started the day off with his birthday Easter basket. He loved it. CANDY FOR BREAKFAST! (it was only 8 jelly beans, no worries). The rest of the day couldn't live up to our fun yet relaxing morning. Azure had 3 insane melt downs. That now seem to include dramatic attempts to flip over the kitchen table, chairs, or anything else not nailed down. By the time he was calmed down it was to hot and late for the park. I made up for it by making him a hard boiled egg... He doesn't eat them...He is kinda obsessed with just holding them. He had it with him all day. It was kinda cute. He even has a cute little "egg" dance.
The rest of the day went by in a blur of errands, phone calls, and more freak outs. I will admit having a diagnosis gives me hope that all of us could now learn tools to help him calm down and communicate. But until then I'm doing a lot of deep breathing.
Tomorrow is monday and kevin will be home! I'm going to push for a late afternoon family birthday adventure. It should involve Balloons and cupcakes. I promise Az we wont sing xxoo
