With Kellen there is black and white and not much gray. It's all or nothing. It is hard for him to make decisions where judgment is involved. For instance, he will wear his coat to school every day. When spring comes around and it is warm enough not to wear a coat, he has a hard time making the adjustment. Just when he seems to get into the routine of not putting on a coat, the cooler fall comes around and we can't get him to wear a coat again.
Since he is very interested in having all of his clothes in his drawers, he tends to take them off in the evening and stuff them back into his drawers, dirty or clean. This makes for an interesting morning!
Today as Kellen was getting dressed for church, his dad came into his bedroom to check and see if he was putting on a clean shirt. It was obvious, he hadn't. Dad tried to convince him to change his shirt and after awhile, he was successful. Dad pulled a pile of shirts out of his drawer and there were about three more that had been worn without being washed. Finally, the two of them were able to find, and agree on, a clean shirt to wear.
About ten minutes later, after Dad had left the bedroom, we heard Kellen yell out, "D-a-a-a-d, YOU MADE ME CHANGE MY MIND!"

We have been trying to get Vic to understand about "changing your mind". He doesn't get it. He says one thing--then another. We ask, "Which is it? This? or That? It cannot be both? You have to choose one and stick with it. No changing your mind," but he just doesn't get it. It is one of those gazillion repetition things---maybe someday he will get it--maybe not.

Thank you so much for this, and all these recent posts about Kellen. He reminds me very much of my Avery (and I think they might look alike, based on Avery's three-year-old self compared to the young Kellen photos). It makes me feel especially close to your family and it helps take the "worries" that I sometimes get if I think too far ahead.
Again, my thanks.
