It wasn't necessarily escalation, but he was amping up. So I tried some of the strategies the therapist gave us on Friday. We played a matching game (brain work) and we did some jumping and planks. Tried to do jumping jacks and that is when it started to go off the rails. The little woman did one and he wasn't watching. He wanted her to do another one so he could see. The object was to see who could do the best. She ran, he chased and about that time the therapists arrived.
With some coaxing they got him to go to the park. And they stayed down there about an hour.
We had nice family dinner plans for Mother's Day. I did not have what I needed to make lasagna. Pat didn't get to the store to buy either a piece of pork or a prime rib. After dropping the little man at Pat's, I went and picked us up pizza and picked up Mom.
Pat had spent the day painting his living room. He is in the middle of installing new flooring and decided that painting would be a good choice before the new flooring was down. It kind of messed up the dinner plans, but we worked around it. The paint must have been low odor which is nice.
Once home I gave the little man his melatonin. He was out by 10. It really was a peaceful day, especially if you compare it to the rest of last week.
And we had some nice family time.
