Battle of the French Fries!

" The French Fries!"

So the ongoing battle.. Ryan just LOVES french fries! I do baked fries on the stone in the oven for him. Well........many times Ryan will sit down right in front of the oven and look into the window and attempts to wait patiently for them to cook!!! More times then not, he will keep opening up the oven door and then I tell him..OUT of the oven... close the door.. you have to wait you have so many minutes until the timer goes off.....blah blah blah..

Well yesterday, Ryan just could not wait.......he opens the oven door snagged all the fries while I wasn't looking... I open the oven door and ALL the fries.. had vanished!! Well, I proceed to give him the lecture.. blah blah and always include the line about.. Mom does not want you to burn your hands and it is very dangerous... and get this.. Ryan says............................

RYAN IS VERY CAREFUL NOT TO BURN HANDS WHEN STEALING FRIES!

Yes.. a well phrased statement from my son the " theif"....OK.. that just cracked me up!!!! I love my son!

" Ryan can talk in Heaven"

Today is March 6th, it is 4:30 am in the morning. I am writing this so I will always remember this morning.... Ryan woke up ..so we started our day early. We have not been watching Ryan's favorite pastor Creflo Dollar lately, so I pulled up his sermon this morning. Creflo was talking about heaven and how the physical body will change to an awesome spiritual whole body.. pleasures in heaven we will have.. our bodies will be " decked out" as he put it... the perfect body..... on he went.sharing how exactly the rapture will take place... the changing of the physical body...the good news.. Well... Ryan is laying on the couch in his favorite blanket....next to me and he lifts up his arms and starts his happy happy sounds... and screeching.. I grabbed the board because I knew something was up... he pointed so clearly and exact..... here it comes... RYAN CAN TALK IN HEAVEN... I said Yes!!!!! Ryan in heaven YOU WILL TALK.. forever and ever.. and you know we are working on it on earth... I told him see God has good plans for us.. this life is only temporary... Then he spells to me after he jumped up and did his happy run back and forth through the living room... he says... RYAN SO HAPPY RYAN TEARS HAPPY.... PEACE GOD.... then ran off again.. I wonder what he was going to say about God.. I will let you know............ our children need the hope of Jesus ...Ryan and I learn Gods word.. every day.. and it has given Ryan hope and joy and peace..it is a good morning......

Ryan's Warning!

Yesterday I was at our RPM parent support group meeting which Ryan was there by the way.. said a few things about how smart Soma was and then split with Dad:) Well..hearing what took place when I was gone from Ashley and Paul and Ryan.... was the highlight of my evening ! I guess Ryan was upstairs by himself and decided to take a bath ( loves the water)... Paul and Ashley I guess tuned into this fact.. a little late.. and all of a sudden...they hear this loud screeching sound from Ryan. Ashley said.. Dad.. I have never heard this sound before...so yes!!!!!.....they ran up the stairs and there is Ryan standing up in the bathtub.... water just inches from flowing over the tub....Well.. Paul turned off the water ...opened the drain and took care of Ryan. He asked Ryan .. Were trying to tell us.. the water was about to flow over? This sound he made was so very odd..... He did not have a letter board in the bathroom..so.. they got dressed and in I come in from my meeting. I asked Ryan and this is what he said... RYAN TENSE RYAN LEAVE..( think is was going to say leave water on ..something like that) but continued on with this new thought) I will repeat entire sentence: RYAN TENSE...( RYAN LEAVE)........... SEE WATER RUN OVER. I asked him.. so you were trying to tell Dad and Ashley the water was running over.... he spells YES. He was running around our bedroom as I stopped him to get him to answer what took place..so his wording a little different .. but we got it!!! I am so excited...over the top!!!...........do you know why????.........again......this shows me how he is cognitively developing.... how his motor planning is coming together... sounds that never he did before........( PROMPT and all the sensory integration methods we use and of course key... how beautiful RPM is ) I jumped around like a crazy woman.. thanking Ryan for warning Daddy and Ashley... ..here it is ......he was so so PROUD of himself... he can speak out... he did want to do the right thing and NOW NOW.. WITH RPM... EVERYONE IS TOTALLY CLEAR ABOUT THAT POINT.. Before....... without a way to communicate with Ryan ....it could have been looked at like MAN!!!!!!.....another PROBLEM RYAN .. YOU ALMOST FLOODED THE BATHROOM!!! GET OUT OF THE TUB!!!! When all along he was warning us!! Our children without RPM are so misunderstood.. it makes me so sad.......... WE CAN NOT IMAGINE SPENDING OUR entire life trying to be heard.. and trying to get people to understand that your intentions are good. and that your trying... ..to only be left to suffer in silence......WE MUST STOP THIS...PLEASE SHARE THIS IDEA WITH OTHERS.. THERE IS A BETTER WAY TO GIVE OUR CHILDREN THEIR VOICE!! I am so grateful for RPM.... I will spend my life trying to convince people to try this method.. .... So.. on a happy end to my writing.. Ryan must of been having so much fun in the bathtub.. he likes his alone time ..he has told us... and for the water, he forgot the water level was rising... I've done that too!! I love my son...thank you God for Ryan.
