Saturdays drama

Hi there my fellow bloggers, For  while i have been contemplating writing a blog, but too be honest had much difficulty in deciding what it should be about. So i came to the conclusion that it would be a mixture of all my life experiences (past & present). Let me start off by telling you about my not so typical family. I have two son's let's call them L and M, L is 7 and was diagnosed at the age of 2 and half with Autism or the medical term Autistic Spectrum Disorder. L is very loving and cares so much about other peoples feelings. M is 4 and a right little character he has us in stitches as my mum often say's "he has been here before". Both L & M are in full time school and there father C works full time as a warehouse operative. We have been together quite a while and are expecting are third and final baby around October 2012. Any more than 3 children and i think i would go bald through stress.

Usual Saturdays are days full of cleaning, cooking etc.. and taking L & M out to run off there excess energy (as L can be very bouncy and not fall asleep till 10/11 pm). Notice i said "usual saturday's" today however we have just lounged around and done nothing exciting. Apart from trying to calm L down whilst playing on his computer game he can become quite distressed if he does not win or can't do what he is trying too. I shall never say to him again that i will turn it off because he is getting too upset as the tornado that followed them words is just not worth it. M on the other hand has been running around making kung fu noises pretending to be lots of different characters from films/ tv  he likes. Both L & M love each other very much  but fight like cat and dog. Especially when it comes to a certain games console ( Please note my children do a lot more than play games on a console). L is doing extremely well academically but his social skills need a lot of work, he changed schools in january ( From special to mainstream) and i can safely say it was the best move for him. L was getting shall we say a bit bored of the day to day life in special school and craved to learn more. M is not liking the fact that he now has to learn, all he wants to do is play which is understandable for a four year old.

Children can be so funny at times for instance i was trying to explain to them both that when mummy has the baby then she will have to go to hospital "so the doctors can take the baby out" in reply to this M said " Mummy will it burst out of your belly??" To which i replied " no sweetheart they give mummy some medicine before they take it out" I couldn't think of any other way to explain it as he kind of put me on the spot.
Thankfully he did not ask anymore questions about it but im still trying to figure out what to say to him. Some people must think we are crazy wanting another child but i can honestly say that as soon as we found out we were expecting again i now feel im complete. I was an only child and when your younger you wish you had someone to just talk to other than my friends and parents. Which in later life meant i never wanted to have just one child and feel the way i felt about it. Don't get me wrong i had a great upbringing better than most but always felt like something was missing.

Well enough of my waffle as i really should do something other than sit on the computer....
