The next day, my mom friends from his class were meeting at our town pool. They too go at 4 and it being a Halloween Super Jack And Wonder Sally Shirt assured “it’s the best time to go, it’s empty there!” I think this sounds fun and now there will be more special needs kids there so surely he won’t stand out! Famous last thoughts. This time I do manage to remove my clothes to go into the pool but unfortunately I dropped his hand to do it. Big mistake. He took off running. The good thing, from my perspective, is he knows how to swim. The bad thing is the first rule at public pools is “no running.” So he’s running and I’m running after him and even though I’m at this for 5 years now and should have a better handle on it, I don’t, so while I’m running I’m screaming at him to “Stop!!!” – now the lifeguard whistles all start going off and I see all the other pool people looking above their magazines to see what the ruckus is about. A little modesty background on me: In my own pool in my own backyard the way I enter it is to go to the edge of it, shimmy out of my cover up and get into the pool lest anyone of my neighbors see me in my bathing suit. And here I am now, at my town pool, running, yelling, panicked in just my bathing suit like I’m some kind of Pamela Anderson who has hit hard times.

Ryan starts going off the diving board and I’m thinking “Ok at least he’s not running…” but instead of swimming to the ladder off to the side to exit the pool, as is done, to go off the dive again, he starts swimming the length of Halloween Super Jack And Wonder Sally Shirt. The problem being that when he gets to the middle of the pool there are ropes set up to make lanes for people to swim laps from one side to the other– so as he encounters the rope partition he uses it to flip himself and then continues into the next lap lane and rope partition to flip himself and continue on again… and on and on he goes. He runs into a few old ladies in swim caps swimming during this activity. He runs into a few old ladies in swim caps swimming during this activity. We decided to leave. It was under 20 minutes. I have to get Ryan acclimated to public rules but the only way to do that is to expose him to them and to take him and work on it in public. This is why we mostly do stay home and don’t venture out. It’s such a lonely isolated life sometimes. Upsides include, I can’t believe how at ease I’ve become to people’s staring at us. I won’t be shamed. Depending on my mood I either look them right in the eye until they turn away or I never look at them. To make matters worst, he always looks so cute and happy when he’s being mischievous. Uggghhh maybe this guy’s onto something with me not being very rule enforcing. Hmmm…
