I had a lot of fun drawing this. : )
Hopefully I'm not dating myself too much with this one. I assume most people with grade-school aged kids remember the Super-Friends growing up, right? And the Wonder-Twins, Zann and Jaina? Well, if not, you can Google it. ; )
In any case, Jacob has a tendency to go into what we call "puddle mode," usually when when we're walking in a public places, parking lots, malls, etc... Very frustrating, and sometimes not very safe. Anyone else get this sort of thing?
Oh, and... HAPPY HALLOWEEN, everyone! Hope everyone has a fun and safe time trick-or-treating!

Nice job drawing the Jacob puddle! At that age, GL would drop to the ground and start thrashing around like an angry, slippery eel.
I trust the pinkeye is better?
LOL. Yep, all cleared up.
And come to think of it, it's been rather a long while since either has had a really fantastic meltdown, but we still get "puddle mode" quite a bit from Jacob. When he's done, he's DONE, I guess. :)
My little brother was like this a few years ago, haha! Jacob will grow out of it!
This is somewhat awesome. By somewhat I mean completely, totally, and fabulously!
Form of... A boneless 8 year old!
I'm following you now.

@Kitty - Here's hoping! LOL
@Karla - Thanks so much! I'll check yours out as well!
It's fun to read, too!
I don't think you need an awareness of the Super-Friends to relate. I don't have one, and I certainly can relate. Usually it's not in parking lots, but it definitely happens with remarkable frequency.
My kids also have the ability to turn into rocks--muscles hard, weight inexplicably increased--when they are being picked up to go where they do not want to go.
@Stephanie - Ah, yes! The "Density Increase" super-power! I'd forgotten about that one. Yeah, we get that too. LOL
This made me laugh - my Nipper does this a lot!
OMG this is so awesome!! My ASD kid is also named Jake/Jacob so it's EXTRA awesome for me.
@Tilly - Thanks! Always nice to hear from people who can relate!
@jillsmo - Thanks! And: excellent choice for a name, I might add! LOL
just when i thought it couldn't get any funnier...i see puddle mode. you are drawing my life without even realizing it...
hysterical. thank you...
@sj - All our children are different, but they all have so much in common, don't they? ;)
