Yes--they are cute and adorable--I agree. I have three boys and I recall taping my two boys (who are older now) and they weren't sure how to act so they, too, jumped on the couch, rolled around, bonked each other on the heads with pillows. This isn't how they always were but they were being taped and knew it and so this was their performance. So, I suppose--boys will be boys.

My son dx'd on the spectrum will do flips on his bed, over the couch--you name it. He is this way too (not all the time) but I suppose it is an active kind of boy thing. Maybe some of it is sensory too as my son always has to push his body against something as he's talking. He has trouble just standing still. But, my son is very verbal so he prefers monologues--introducing himself, pointing out his items in detail--and he paces as he talks (especially now that he's eight).

He has acted spastic, without any purpose but to just move, but it's usually when he's had too much sugar (honestly) or is anxious about something. He's learned to control this now that he's older.

thanks,

Only being separated for a week, I don't know but my husband tried to take out my son for to shop for a MOther's Day gift but Pop was adamant that he made a gift for me and that was all he wanted to give.
Last year, no one did Jack Crap for me so I guess we're doing better in that regard.

Happy Mothers Day to all the Mommys on WP, I have been without
mine for almost 11 years now, and really miss her on Mothers Day.

mom to bax,
My ex has never helped my kids do anything special for me. I used to always make sure my kids gave him gifts on his birthday,xmas and fathers day, until a few years back when my oldest son said no way! If I wanted to buy their dad something I could, but he wasn't giving it to him. He said he never gives us money for you or helps us get you things and besides mum you do the dad stuff, he does nothing! My oldest earns his own money now and still would never get his father anything. Its sad, but he came to this all by himself so I will respect his opinion. We now haven't seen my ex for about 4 years. He never phones or sends cards either.
We celebrate fathers day different around here. Fathers day = big brothers day, we celebrate all the wonderful things my oldest does with my J, and show our apprection for his support, he is a great kid.

My sister was a single mum for a few years, I used to take her girls shopping for mothers day, xmas and my sis's b'day.
My brother used to do the same for my oldest son (for me). Now my oldest helps my youngest!

First, thanks for sharing that with me. Second, I'm really sorry to hear you are separated this year.

On your son's "misinterpretation" of his teacher's directive - lol! That's exactly something my son would do. "Something special" means something special for HIM, right? Who else could there be to consider?? lol

This morning went badly, and I ended up in tears, trying to explain to my bewildered husband why I felt so frustrated and disappointed and sad. Evidently he thought it was "fun" to let me think I'd been completely forgotten, all week, and all day today, and then planned to whip up a special "surprise" dinner for me later tonight.

I explained to him that is not my idea of a "fun" surprise. That I would stew all day and make no connection between his activity in the kitchen and today being my "special day." And that I feel it's cruel to let me think I've been forgotten - "surprises" like he was planning only work out well in the end in bad tv situation comedies, or Shakespearean farces.

It was hard, but it was worth it, explaining all this. Because he took our son and went out and they returned with lovely cards with very touching inscriptions, and the most beautiful live orchid with tiger stripes, and a bottle of Bailey's for my coffee. And now he's preparing dinner for me, and I KNOW he's preparing dinner for me. When they came home and presented me with all this, I sobbed all over again, but from joy.

My thoughts are with all the moms who don't feel appreciated, or who've had troubled relationships with their own mothers, or are going through divorces, and just anyone for whom Mother's Day has not always been associated with happy fluffy love and joy.

My dear sweet Mother is passed on several years ago.
I remember her today.

Today is my Birthday. I was a mothers day present.

I sent my dear sweet Wife flowers Carnations and Daisies.
Tonight I rub her feet.
She is making me meatloaf and baked potatos for dinner.

For all of you Mothers out there, who are feeling unappreciated.
On behalf of all of their Aspy boys.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY.

Happy Birthday EvilTeach! You are your mother's gift! Now you can share that with your wife.

Sometimes I have orphan pains and an autie child w/o parents is double hard. Strangely, I loved my father, more than anyone, but I he died when I was little, after a long illness, so I wouldn't even know him. I don't know what I miss him except for when I get those acute orphan pains. Like right now.

I wish I could have had a mother but I do not ever dwell on that and divert my attention elsewhere. So I extra-appreciate those here who are mothers.

My sons presented me with gifts this morning and hubby made french toast. Then we did some art together, and watched a movie I got to choose (I'm a little under the weather today so needed restful activities). Now hubby is BBQing something for dinner. It's been a very nice day.

I'm glad you told your hubby what you wanted Sinagua. AS or NT, sometimes they just don't get it.

My first few mum's days were really kinda lousy, but that's just because DH didn't know quite what I would want, other than a card. Then I got really specific about what I would like, and ever since they have been great, but I am very specific about asking for what I'd like and planning how I'd like to spend the day, and telling them all way in advance and then giving reminders (several reminders ). This takes the stress out of it for DH, and gets the boys excited about the special things they're going to do for mom.

Happy mum's day everyone!
