It started with a meltdown at the school playground. It was under construction today so they had to go to a different playground.

When Wyatt got home, he was in a very hyper mood. We kept getting after him not to slam the lamp in his room into the wall. (I think he liked the sound it made, plus he knew we didn't want him to do it). The lamp shattered. Glass went everywhere. A piece made a small cut in his shoulder.

While we were frantically cleaning the glass up and vacuuming, Wyatt went into the other room and was trying to figure out how to take my sewing machine apart with a small screw driver. The machine was plugged in and turned on because Wyatt was in the middle of a therapy session when all of this happened. I thought I would have a chunk of time to modify his swim diapers, which he has outgrown but that cost $17 per pair--so I'm determined to get another season out of them. So, while all of this chaos was happening, the therapist got her hair stuck in a fly strip I had hung up. We finally got a band-aid on Wyatt's boo-boo, but he wasn't very cooperative.

My mom is visiting so she said she would watch Wyatt while I took a nap. Wyatt threw all the books in the case down the stair well, then while she was picking those up...Wyatt got into some cherry red shampoo in the bathroom which got all over him, the toilet, mirror carpet, etc. So she had to clean all of that up. Then while she was cleaning that up he took his diaper off and peed on the floor and then stuck a bunch of plums and nectarines down the garbage disposal.

We decided to get out of the house and go for some iced tea at McDonalds. They have a local special for 42oz. drinks for 69 cents. Wyatt still wasn't calmed down after our outing, so we gave him some melatonin and we took him to the pool. He finally wound down in the spa and nearly fell asleep. Nearly. But no such luck. My husband has been driving him around for over an hour. We were hoping we could slip away for an hour to just hang out together (since my mom is here to babysit) after Wyatt went to bed, but it is looking less likely by the minute.
