Laughter, but not the good kind.

We are accustomed to believe that most laughing is a great thing, unless in the movies when it is coming from some maniacal criminal when they are about to do something nasty to you.   But no one would think that my precious little boy would laugh and it would actually bring stress. 

Crazy laughter after not sleeping very well, plus hyperactivity.  He ate 3 bananas yesterday - and I have read that heavy phenolic foods can create inappropriate laughter, and other behavioral issues with some children on the spectrum.  I will ask his integrative pediatrician if she recommends an enzyme to help with processing phenolic foods at our next visit.  

We had a playdate Saturday night at our mirror family's home (son is almost 3 on the spectrum, daughter is 5).  It ended rather abruptly when their poor daughter and Sophia were getting rambunctious.  I had just commented that I surprised that we had never had a trip to the emergency room when it happened; the poor little girl manage to land on her arm the wrong way after jumping off a slide into a pillow.  Off to the emergency room they went.  The poor little girl broke her arm! I felt horrible for my remark. 

I have been running a low grade fever for a few days.  I am constantly cold and have joint pain.  Fell down some stairs earlier in the week when my knee continued to collapse underneath me.  Not sure what I have going on, but it is definitely slowing me down.  I am actually wondering if I broke something.  Small breaks sometimes cause a low grade fever when they first occur,  Add to that some sleep deprivation due to Sir Sleeps A Little and  I will be a bit of a zombie today.

Trying to plan for the fundraiser, and launch the new FEAT website this week.  Unfortunately, all I can think of is sleep, oh wonderful sleep.  Unfortunately, two little ones with no school today, and Steve has work, so I just have to keep on moving.
