Peace and Tranquility

Mr. David must not be feeling well.  This is the second day in a row that he has taken a nap in the middle of the day.  This is so unlike him. He is excited about going to the respite family tonight.  It is my hope that we find success in respite, I think that it would be very good for him to have another family that cares for him as much as we do.  They live on a farm, and if the weather is nice this weekend, he will get to take the rabbits out of the hutch and play with them in the yard. Since he is an animal lover, this should fit right in with his tastes.  The family has two dogs, four cats, two bunnies and are planning to get some chickens.  I am excited for him.   Tweet #fighting4answrs

Spin the education wheel again for luck

Image via Wikipedia Well, as many of my faithful readers will remember, we are going through a facilitated IEP for our son, David. After a few attempts at scheduling the actual meeting, we finally appear to have a date and time that we can all agree on. I plan to ask for half days of school.  Music, PE, Science or Math and lunch. David is 10 years old and in the fourth grade.  Hopefully we can get him back into public school.   Tweet #fighting4answrs

password, password, who knows the password

So now it seems that David has started hacking computers too.  He is changing passwords on his brother’s computer.  Time to use a random password generator instead of a dictionary. On the plus side, David starts with his respite care provider tomorrow.  I think that will be very good for him.  Give him some social skills and the perspective of living with another family.  Maybe he won’t be quite so difficult for us when he comes back.   Tweet #fighting4answrs
