My Cartoonist


I know I haven't written anything in some time now. We had been going through some changes with Kevin's medication and I've just been really busy lately. I'll be starting a new adventure next month myself, but I'm not going to talk about that here. I'll post that later on my Aunt B's Kitchen and Garden blog.  As I said we went through a change in his medication. Thankfully it wasn't anything major. His doctor helped me adjust the Fanapt, because he was having issues mid afternoon. So far it looks like we may have worked though it for the most part.


Today he's hanging out with me at home. We're having a very quite and relaxing afternoon.  Kevin went with me to the grocery store this morning and I picked up a sketch pad for him. He loves to draw his animals.  It's amazing to watch him, because he just pulls the pen to the paper and it doesn't leave the paper until his animal is finished. One day I should take a video of him drawing, so you can see what I mean.  I use to always carry a little note pad in my purse for him and anytime we went to a restaurant I'd pull that out for him to keep him occupied while we waited for our food. He'd fill a notepad in one night, which is what he's doing now to the sketch pad.  I don't mind at all, because he's happy as can be right now. Most importantly he isn't bored hanging out with his mom.  LOL He just finished off the sketch pad.  So, your wondering why I don't carry the notepad in my purse anymore or maybe you just assume it has to do with Kevin's age. Nope, I just don't carry a purse anymore and Kevin usually has his Nintendo DS with him.  Believe it or not that thing does seem to be helping him with keeping his hands open more often.  It's become a great tool for him as it turns out.

I don't know if you can see his finished drawing or not, but he tells me it's a Lemur.  I think he said it was Mort from the Madagascar movies.

All in all things are going good here.  We got through the holidays and Kevin's class has started practice swimming for the next event coming up for school.  I plan on going to that event, so be ready to see some pictures in a month or so of his swimming event with Special Olympics for our schools here.
