New blanket!

After learning that using a weighted blanket can help Carson, I found instructions online on how to make one. Got the materials at a few local stores, and had Carson pick out the fleece. I opted for fleece rather than cotton fabric, because he likes it much better.

Here it is, filled with a total of seven pounds of poly pellets.

Carson loves his new blanket!

Tea light breakfast

This morning I woke up 3 distinctly different times. First to my Dh's alarm, telling him to get up for work at 5 am. Then I got up briefly at about 6:30am to answer the call from mother nature. Finally, I was woken up by the little man, who had made breakfast for he and me. A tea light breakfast, with a menu of mac-n-cheese and strawberry smoothies.

I think he was trying to use every single tea light I had. I was impressed that he made the smoothies all by himself. He's watched me make them, and made them one time with guidance. Still need to work on the water level for the mac-n-cheese. But all in all, what a  wonderful surprise.
