Is the tide turning??

Wow, is April over yet???  Bobby has been out of school for 14 out of the past 18 days.  So excited that the school schedule is getting back to normal next week.  After this weekend, these poor kids are going to have trouble going to school for a full week.  Only one extra day off left in April and only 2 in May!!  Unfortunately for this past stretch of 5 days off of school, I have been sick.  The worst sinus infection/allergy combo that I have had in years.  Still coughing up a lung every time I talk.  Fun, fun, fun!!!  Bob came home from work earlier in the week with the allergy/cold disgustingness (I know, not a word).  Yesterday I finally felt like taking Bobby outside to play after school and he was ecstatic.

We have had such an extremely hard time with Bobby outside lately.  He has been running off from us and it has frankly been a nightmare.  But he was AWESOME!!  He stayed right in the yard and played (well, played Bobby style).

A true WV hillbilly!!!

He stood in these trees for quite a while.  Not sure what the fascination was, but it kept him occupied and happy.

Bobby couldn't wait for Daddy to get home to take him for a ride in the Rhino.  "I gonna drive this thing myself!!"

He couldn't figure out how to drive, so he moved back over to his side.  He even tried to alter his seat...

We had the best time outside that we have had in a while, and trust me, we were ready for a good one!!  I hope that this means the tide is turning for our outside time!!!

When it was time to come inside, Bobby came right on in and didn't fuss once.  He was ready to get working on his "road."

Working hard to put up some guard rails on his road.  The wood pieces were not cooperating like Bobby wanted which caused a minor meltdown, but he worked through it without getting too upset.

He finally moved the structure to the kitchen hoping that the guard rail would go up better.

After school he goes to his 3rd appointment with his new autism therapist.  Definitely will have to play outside since it will be 80ish, the cold is back on its way tomorrow.
