Well this last couple weeks has been a flurry of activity around here. Still working on converting the shed to a chicken coop, putting in the garden, picnics, and of course dealing with the end of the school year. Given Titus' condition, he's adapting somewhat to school being out but I can tell he's out of sorts. Today I started table time - doing handwriting and will also be doing spelling and mathematics. Right now I'm gearing up to play some sort of game with the kids.
I just read the other day that autistic children tend not to do so well with games that they are suppopsed to keep something secret while playing, I never really thought of it but I do see what they mean. Titus is entering 1st grade at the top of his class, best reader and advanced in math. Now we just need to conquer the social skills. He's talking alot more and when explaining something to him he can put it into his own words.
This weekend is Steven's oldest boys' wedding, this will be in Indy so we'll be staying at the KOA down there. Additionally Andrew (whom Steven hasn't had contact with for over three years) dropped a letter off here expressing his desire to patch things up with his father-so this is a great time of rejoicing!!
Well it's time for a game so I better run!
