If you can't get out Sal - I'll share some of my day with you! Today's story goes a little like this: The little fella's super sensory issues won't let anyone touch him let alone his hair and a pair of scissors. He is not fully blown mute, (if he was I'd say he'd be teaching me more than he already does) but he is one of those kids that does not let many family members touch him. Thankfully I am one of the lucky ones that's able to steal the odd hug and kiss. If you look at the 1st photo of my grandson up above, (watching some YouTube in bed) you might notice the butcher job I did on his hair. Actually it looked worse than that from another side. Anyways after sending a photo to his mum after I took to his hair with a pair of left handed scissors ... well let's just say I had to block mum's number for several minutes!
Finally after a lot of Extroverted Tony Robbins brainwashing and several Spanking New Dinosaurs purchased from K-Mart and then a few more 'after the job' ... he finally got his 1st hair cut by a lady who specializes with ASD. Kudos to her!!! She was a good find and we'll be back for more hair cutting and of course - Spanking New Dinosaurs!!! There was no separating me and the lad ... although I and others tried. I've actually been in the process of teaching him some of the freedoms that come from a little distance. (Just a little - as I like to keep engaged with him myself) But that's another story - Both me and the Kid don't trust anyone when it comes to fast paced traffic either on or off the road - pathways and or Malls. We're both working on that.
Hope this finds you well. Mission Accomplished - Although the The Bribes left us Broke!
