He has obsessions because of the autism and one of his obsessions is going to McD's which is 15 mins from us or Arby's which is 30 mins from us. Papa likes to take him out to eat so we asked him earlier if he wanted to go to McD's for lunch. He surprised us by saying No I want to stay here and draw! He loves the quiet here away from his brother and sister and their loud play.
So I asked him a few mins later if he wanted to go to Arby's he jumped up and said SURE!! so we got ready to go. We got about 3 miles from home and he announced he did't want to go to Arby's but McD's! Surprising because nothing usually comes before Arby's!!
So we took him to McD's (did it yesterday too!) and then to a local park he calls CastlePark because it has a brown fence all around and has turrets for the kids to climb in and tunnels all seasoned brown wood. and it is quite large. It used to be a school playground and covers the whole playground area. So he had a good day.
But I had to interrupt working on the activity page to go to town. So now I am back and working on it!
