Thank you! :)

[Guest guest]

I just wanted to thank you all for listening and for your kind words. I feel

alot better today. Keenan is going to the zoo with a friend and of course he's

going through his " What if... " questions. He only asked two. He said he really

wanted to go, but " What if i get lost, mom? " and then he wanted to know, " What

if (the kids' mom) stops to run an errand and leaves us in the car " ? The

second question is a valid what if question because it did happen, so i called

her and talked to her about Keenan. Guess what?! She told me she was so glad i

told her this because she has OCD, too and she sees a counselor on a regular

basis and takes medication for it. I'm glad he'll be going to the zoo with

someone who understands. I've known her for two years but she never shared this

with me. anyways, she said she'd bring him into the store with her if she

stops, which I';d prefer for any " normal " child anyways because I just dont'

believe in leaving your kids in the car at this age. He asks alot, however,

" what if " questions...alot of times thinking about the worst thing that can

happen in something that is supposed to be fun.. or he'll just ask stuff like,

" Mom, what would you do if a robber ran up and grabbed you? " and he'll go

through a whole list of " What if's " or " What would you do's " ... I'm not quite

sure how to answer these ones.

Hey, thanks again! We're having a good morning. I spent an hour of playtime

with him and told him we could play whatever, so he wanted to play charades

where I had to guess the animal or the Pokemon that he was acting out. I must

say, t he animals were much more easy! hehe... I'm not real familiar with the

different pokemon so he kept laughing at me as I would guess and get their names

wrong... We also played Twenty Questions for kids. We had a RELAXING blast.

I'm glad i spent some good quality time with him.

Talk to you soon.
