The Simple Things

Today was an odd day.  L's mom took him to the doctor this morning to discuss his (lack of) impulse control and see if there should be any change in medication, then decided to keep him for the rest of the day because he was STILL out of control... I'm praying that something will click for this little darling and things will get easier for him.

R did another section of MEAP today and it was just as frustrating to watch as the rest.

I'm having a tough time coming up with how I was Specially Educated today... it seemed very uneventful.  I'm wondering if this is the calm before the storm (frightening!) or whether it's a new beginning.  Only time will tell :)

Hmm.... so I was Specially Educated today with the fact that every moment can become a teachable moment.  You can take anything, even something as simple as watching children have a casual conversation, and point out the concept of taking turns, and that my kiddos were actually DOING it :)

Also, I learned that spending $1 on an 8-pack of plastic, glow-in-the-dark vampire teeth could bring out the silliest, most entertaining side of these boys.  I would have never imagined it!

Simple things make sweet boys happy! (THAT is some Special Education :))
