Friday night flip.....

What happened?

Something happened, that's for sure.

We had a bit of a friday night flip in mood, ability to cope, anger level.

Damn, not a good way to start the weekend. Especially after the most amazing week we've had.

But that's the ups and downs and the only thing constant is the unpredictability of whatever is going on in our little guys head.

Unlike my other children, where on any given day we can usually predict how they will respond, how their mood will be (well now except for my tween-can you say HORMONES)

But when they wake up in the morning, I can usually count on a typical day for them.

And only if they aren't feeling well, or they are tired, or hungry (than all bets are off)

But more often than not, they have theei sweet little personalities (ok, big personalities) that are who they are.

These are the words we often use to describe our children to others.

And on any given day it's pretty easy to predict how theei mood will be,

Now this is not the case with Ty.

The one thing that is consistent with him,....

is his constant inconsistencies of his mood, his ability to cope, his reaction to everyday stimuli and events

We never know what mood he'll wake up in

We never know what events or situations will cause him to fly off the handle

This past week, he was certainly more predictable and consistent with his mood and response to the world.

Even showing some flexibility and tolerance towards others

But as good as of a day we had on Friday, something still flipped in him

He became more anxious, more obsessed over Halloween stuff again, more intolerant, more aggressive verbally

It happens in a blink of an eye..not even noticeable to others until all of the sudden he's angry

He's now being oppositional (and I don't mean like a neurotypical kid, I"m talking absolute rudeness, illogical, aggression over a thought that is only in his mind

He's not using his words, he's back in a fight or flight mode, ready for battle

But over what?

These will forever be the mystery's that plague our everyday lives.

And as good as we are at figuring out his signals and preparing him for upcoming moments that is life,

It's a flip in the switch like this that always leaves us wondering!

And right now, I wonder what will the rest of this day bring?
