Be an Oyster for Autism!

We went to the beach in Rocky Point and had another great trip. Tried to get a few pics of the shirts and got some other great pics too.  Quinn was happy as a clam at the beach all day every day.  I got really brown as I always do and Tate had lots of friends to play with because Tim's brother came down with his girlfriend and her two kids who are Tate's age, and Tim's cousin came down with his family, wife and two boys about the kids ages as well.  It was really nice, and I'm so glad we got to go again. Next week is Tim's birthday and we're going again.  The past couple of trips have been sort of last minute, but the birthday trip has been planned for awhile now.  We're taking the RV, and then Tim will probably sell it. We just don't use it that much.  But it's neat, and there's nothing like being parked right on the beach.

Quinn was in a bit of a spaced out mood all trip.  I don't know why.  He just couldn't make it to the toilet, and continues to mess in his pants.  I don't know what the deal is. It isn't a bladder infection, becuase he's pooping in his pants too. It's hard to figure out. He acts all mad when I find him changing his clothes, even before i say or react.  He looks up at me and hits himself in the head and says, "no! i don't care!" and he may even cry... usually he'll go to the nearest mirror and watch himself in an exaggerated cry mode. My guess is it's teenage hormones and can't be helped. He just doesn't know what to do with his feelings he's having. It's hard to tell what is going on in that head of his.  How his thoughs come to him.. in words? i don't think so.  Maybe in pictures and feeling, more likely. We did have a good time in mexico, and Quinn did laugh and enjoy himself more times than not.   I did look over at him facing the water one time with  A TON of people around with his swim trunks at his ankles and him peeing into the surf.  Yikes.  I walked down and pulled up his pants, and he was mad that I did. Kid just doesn't have the embarassment button. Not there. No ego whatsoever. I love this kid, man. I just wish he would get the whole potty training thing down.  Autism. He'll be 14 in December, and he's back to daily accidents.  Ah well. So it is...
