[QUOTE="buddy, post: 487581, member: 12886"] It is true that less is more, when Q was young he never even asked for anything. So people loved that and gave him tons of stuff and he got used to it. Now he sees what kids have and really wants it. He is so open/honest (too much, I know) that he will just say, my brain thinks of this all the time mom, I am really jealous and I can't stop wanting a phone (or whatever, now it is the phone) and so I get mad and want to do something. I know I have to wait, and if I don't get that then can I have an iPod to play angry birds and watch nascar and do skype with (TeDo's boys)...... so he is now listening to me about options, hope that works in my favor when he gets his present because I didn't get the iPod, I have been using the Galaxy player though, and it is really fast, the camera is great, the whole thing is so much better than my phone. If he doesn't like it, I will be fine using it, LOL. I am so glad he had a good time. It feels great when you have your kids just do the polite thing on their own. Q used such nice words at the hospital today (until notice of a blood test) and they even commented on it, can you please open this for me mom, thanks mom, etc. And answering questions on his own. Last summer a new kid came to the pool, I happened to look up and saw MY son reaching his hand out to welcome him, they shook hands and he asked what the kids name was. I got a glimps of what he could have been, if he did not have all these issues. I was so proud. But also a tiny bit bummed that this was such a huge achievement and only happens rarely. I hope J has a good day tomorrow, you have posted he can get tired and worn out after events, hoping for a good night's sleep and luckily it is a weekend so he can recover for a day (unless you have more planned?) I have to face the birthday thing beginning of January.... hope it goes well for us too. He is actually thinking of doing something himself, so I think I am off the hook for the party scene! [/QUOTE]
