I’ve spent the past few days in the middle of a programming nightmare. As such I haven’t had as much time as I would like to post here, so let’s do a bit of a recap for the past few days.
The note from the school on Wednesday was one of those that makes me chuckle a bit. It’s always interesting to hear someone else react to something you’ve already seen or heard, and this is no exception:
Said his name today for the first time.
His spontaneous speech has greatly improved. He is doing such a great job
You see, Lil’ B. constantly says his own name at home. Generally in the same way that his father says it when angry, including all four names with proper inflection. At other times he just uses his first name, but generally followed by “Noooo!” He learns well from example, my boy.
I’m extremely thankful that he’s beginning to act more like himself in class and that he’s comfortable enough to say his own name around his teachers and peers. It shows progress and progress is something I’m always a proponent of.
Today’s message was another one that i could have told them had they asked:
Great day. He loves being a helper. He’ll help both adults and other students.
yep. he’s my official trash can lid opener, cup picker-upper and trash collector. he’ll help put away his coat and shoes, happily help put the milk back in the fridge and any other task he can grasp. He’s just that way. I’ve known this for years. Now someone else appreciates it. It’s a good feeling.
For now everyone, my head is over-full from a day of code gone wrong. time to veg in front of bad television.
Peace. I’m out.
