It was only a matter of time before Alex would discover the wonders of "Google." He's watched me search for images on the computer and it wasn't long before he asked to see "potty." You wouldn't believe how many images you can pull up when you type "flush toilet." This is, of course, one of his autistic obsessions (I'm hoping it means he has a future at least as a plumber... hey, they make decent money). And on You Tube he finds this video of a cat obsessively flushing someone's toilet. Going on 2 hours now... I'm despairing I won't be able to get him off the computer. I called him earlier: "Alex, want to go in the pool?" Alex: (shriek) "NO!!!" *deep breath* Silver lining, Mommy. Look for the silver lining. Ah, yes. It was an appropriate verbal response.
