As I have stated before, my son Colin has autisim. With this comes good days and bad days. Today, was a good day! Colin suddenly has been refusing to wear his coat. It came out of no where and it was not a good thing since it is supposed to snow all week. This morning it was 32 degrees outside. There was no way I was letting him out of the house without his jacket! So I did what any good parent would do...I used reverse psychology! Colin was running around the house with only shorts on. I told him to come outside on our balcony with me. We stood out there for approximately 5 seconds before he said "Brrr..it's cold outside, I need jacket on!" Mission Accomplished! I got him dressed and without any refusal the jacket slipped right on! WHHHHEEEWW!
On a side note, he is now learning what right and left are. He told me to turn left this morning and was super excited when I said "That's right Colin!" He quickly responded.."No, Mommy, that's left!" Smart kid huh?
