Tuesday

Today started off wrong for Jennifer today. Gary did not want to go to school and neither did her car. After AAA came and jump-started it (Gary has a habit of turning on the car lights) Jennifer took the car back to AAMCO to get the car checked because the engine light was on. They found a bad relay and replaced it. We are really impressed with the professionalism and good service we are getting from Bob, the general manager there.

While the car was being worked on Jennifer rented a car to get Gary to his appointment with Dr. Rydell. According to Jennifer he did pretty well there until almost time to go when he had a meltdown because he couldn't have the blue balloon. The meltdowns are one of the reasons Gary is seeing Dr. Rydell. He is helping all of us learn how to prevent the meltdowns (or at least shorten there duration).

This evening we all went to see Christmas lights. There is one house by the post office that is amazing. It has a ferris wheel, merry-go-round, a toboggan run (Gary calls it a roller coaster), a nativity scene, and an angels choir. It was fun to look at the display and we parked the car and enjoyed the display for a few minutes. The owner was there still setting things up, he has a sew-saw with snowman still to put out.

Gary is eating his bedtime snack and watching the Upside Down Show. After that it will be time for his bedtime story and then bed.
