an incredible day ~ 3-22-2012

Today was a huge Victory! David went the whole day without major trouble. He was saddened by events in our community, but I am not ready to talk about that. Not much more can be said about the day.  He did what he was asked to do, and what he was meant to do, and he did it without complaint.  When he was confronted about anything, he didn’t run and hide behind anyone, he didn’t hem and haw about how he was wronged by society or his siblings. I was most impressed with his behaviour today. Tweet #fighting4answrs

Today’s Victory x 2 3-22-2012

Today’s victory is brought to you by Tobey. Tobey is our newest addition to the family. He is an all black pomeranian less than two years of age.  He has been in our family since last summer.  He is a rescue from an abusive owner. David was getting anxious about something.  Tobey, jumped up on his lap until he calmed down.  This isn’t the first time that he has done this for David, but it is the first time that Tobey’s action clicked into a thought about what exactly he was doing. The second victory is brought to you by David.  We were reading in his book, and he said, “I want to keep reading, I don’t want to stop when you said I could.” Very cool that he likes to read.

Stuart Little teaching lessons.

Today’s Rocking! We have had an excellent morning, David still isn’t feeling the best, so he slept in a little bit. He is working on his favourite puzzles, word search, and we started reading Stuart Little by E.B. White today. He reads so fast that I don’t know if he is actually reading, so I make him read out loud. He has an incredible reading style, but needs to remember to breathe before he runs out of air. Did you know that there are teaching materials that go along with this book?  That is so cool! I would like to find some teaching materials to go along with the Little House series of books by Laura Ingalls Wilder.   Tweet #fighting4answrs
