Two Minutes!!!

Two minutes - that's all it takes to go from neat and tidy to absolute chaos. From being able to see the floor to no where that you can stand with out stepping on something.






Now some of you may think this is pretty normal for a kids bedroom- and for many kids it is (think my twelve year old). But for Kennan a messy room is not. Given his sensory issues it is imperative that we keep is room clean and orderly. This kind of chaos is beyond what his senses can tolerate and we work with him to keep his room relatively clutter free. But in the middle of meltdown mode all bets are off. And that is exactly what happened today. I would not let him do something he wanted and he caved. Toy bucket and toys launched. Clothes from the drawers and the closet flung in every direction until the floor was covered and last but not least blanket, sheet and pillows yanked from the bed. And believe it or not this was minor compared to some of his rampages. As I said - two minutes - just two minutes is all it takes.
