Sunday Drive

Yesterday we went for a Sunday drive and stopped at my in-laws for a quick visit. Jerome was acting like his normal self. The first thing he wants after arriving was to go for a 4-wheeler ride.
Grandma said "Wait a few minutes and Grandpa will take you once he is done watering the field."
Jerome gasps with excitement, "I will get the keys!"

(For those of you who don"t know; the keys are on a hook up high next to the refrigrator in the kitchen.)

Grandma confidently states, "He won't be able to get them there are to high."

(Jon & I both look at each other and laugh... " Oh, yes he can!".)

Jerome shortly runs out the back door holding the keys to the 4-wheeler in his hand.

Grandma childishly comments, "At least he doesn't know how to start it!"

(Jon & I both look at each other again knowing Jerome's intelligence... "We'll see.")

Less then three minutes we hear the engine start with a roar. Jerome was sitting on a running 4-wheeler by himself!

Jon & I laugh as Grandma's eye bulge with astonishment!!!

I find it amazing how smart kids are. Jerome one smart cookie!

For Cry'n Out Loud!!!

Stressed!!! Extremely Stressed!!!

Fact: When one of my kids have a tantrum they ALL start going (ALL AT THE SAME TIME).

Jerome has O.D.D. (Obsessive Defiant Disorder). It is a chemical imbalance. So I guess it isn't always his fault all the time, but he always starts the chain reaction. He has good days and bad days. Yesterday was amazing! Manners on occasion, well behaved for the most part, no extreme violent behavior to anyone. I was shocked were did my son go and where did this one come from. I am not use to normal kid behavior. Yesterday was a Great day... it must have been to much to ask for, for it to happen twice. Jerome was back to his same old self today!

I sometime wonder if all this therapy is helping. They are adding a PSR counselor and I hope with all my might it helps.

The craziness was bound to happen with that many kids! But it went better then I thought. The kids were very well behaved and they looked so cute with there cool tie-die shirts, and there hair done just right. We get the pictures back on the 5Th of May.
