A Good Sunday

So, today Nicolas got to go play with his friend, Taylor, for a couple of hours, and I think that it went pretty well.
Part of his "recovery" or really just transition into his new life with meds is making sure that he gets some social time in with some kids his age, and since one of my best friend's has a daughter his age who he has known for years, I figured that she would be a good start for this task.
I was a little worried since Nicolas had an outburst this morning with my mom, but he proved that he can do just fine when it comes to getting along with other kids. The only reason he had his outburst this morning was because my mom asked him to pick some things up outside, and my dad was using the leaf blower, and when things are too loud for Nicolas, he kinda freaks out a little bit.
I was very proud of the way he acted this evening, and how he played so well with his friend, even with all the chaos going on around the house (there were lots of kids). When he got home, he was super tired. He got to chose a "small prize" for the night, and he chose to stay up a half hour later than usual, but he couldn't even stay up passed 7:45.. it was so cute, I haven't seen him fall asleep on someones lap in a long time.
