Welcome back to Thursday, only one day away from Friday! This week I am thankful…
…that the snow finally stopped! I think one more snow day after 3 straight would have sent everyone over the edge. Snow days are great, but there is such a thing as excess.
…that Gus is doing really well learning multiplication! Not only does he grasp the underlying concept, but he really seems excited by it. He used to get these math drills for homework of addition and subtraction that were as bad as pulling teeth to get him to do. If he did 12-15 problems in a sitting, it was a big achievement. He got 2 sheets this week of multiplication problems – easily 30 on the page – and once he stopped fussing because I told him one was wrong, he breezed through the rest. It’s always nice when he enjoys his schoolwork!
…to my friend G who sent me an article on the new NBC series Parenthood. Apparently one of the main characters is an 8-year-old boy with Asperger’s Syndrome. This seems to be a significant story line. The show’s producer has a teenage son with Asperger’s, so I’m hopeful that the portrayal will be accurate and dealt with sensitively. I believe the episode where the child is diagnosed will air next Tuesday. I’m looking forward to it.
What are you thankful for this week? Have a great weekend, and see ya soon!
I love the new show Parenthood! It’s great! I’ve heard a few rumblings about the parents comments, but personally I think the producers portray them that way for a reason. They are very early in the whole Spectrum Diagnosis… are they really suppose to know terms and how to handle things. I look back to my first days of diagnosis and I was so uneducated, and am still learning new things!
