Sometimes life is funny

Just a quick little rant-
Yesterday Micah was watching "Team Umizomi" and decided to inform us what a trapezoid was.  It is moments like these where I realize just how smart he really is.  It wasn't like he was copying team umizomi, he identified the shape before they said it on the episode as a trapezoid.  My 16 year old and I stood there and smiled at each other.  He makes me laugh, he makes me proud.  Then at dinner last night I was made brutally aware of his sensory issues again as I and my husband sat at the table trying to coax him into eating at least three bites of his meat loaf.  Of course I was bribing him with GFCF oreo style cookies.  But the fact that there was ketchup, rice and green onions in it, was a recipe for at least three consecutive melt downs...sometimes I wish trapezoid moments were the only thing that came out of his little mouth.  Those moments, keep my heart inline with the fact he is more then those melt downs, more then the freak outs and hysterics over ketchup touching his meat.  And Lord, do not make him touch the green beans.  Green foods freak him out.  Big time, major melt down!  Gaahhh, we have been waiting for the BMP to call us with the next assessment date, and Micah eagerly awaits going back to "Winkin" (Lincoln School) to play with his "yellow haired friend Cammie" AKA the speech therapist that was doing her initial eval on him. He is so funny, and such a challenge some days.  But goodness I love this boy!  Sometimes life is funny, sometimes it's  trapezoids, and sometimes it's green beans, but it is all good.  And it is all about love!
