Did you know that king size coverlet covers can provide hours of entertainment to boys with Autism?
Today while attempting to make the bed (an exercise in futility I do every day) I had to fight with my oldest and two youngest who had discovered the opening in the bottom of my down comforter allowing them to crawl into the cover. What ensued was a huge wrestling match INSIDE with much giggling. Of course the cover now needs to be repaired since it was not designed to allow access for an 11 year old boy and his 7 and 5 year old brothers. They do find entertainment in the most unusual places.
Of course they are now convinced I am the most abusive parent in the WORLD because I forced them to go OUTSIDE while we worked on replacing our fence. Rather than allowing them to remain inside unsupervised. The loss of their electronic devices for several hours was obviously a devious parental torture devised by their Grandmother.
Somehow they made it through the day and we are now about half way completed with the new fence. The only issue we are having now is the tree. Our neighbor is STILL not home. They have been gone all week so we just ended up putting the new fence butted up against their old fence and they can decide what they want to do when they get back.
