The last two days have been really great with Alex. The frustrations seem to be easing, and he seems much happier. I am very pleased with his attention to his school work. Yesterday was library day, and Alex wanted to check out books on electricity. He got his very own library card and even checked out a special book for Laura. Today was Camera Wednesday, and we worked on a scrapbook page together about electricity. The pics are of Alex pulling the emergency cord for the garage door opener--he was thrilled!

I took him to the psychologist that the psychiatrist recommended yesterday, and I am hopeful that he can help us fill in some more blanks left by the neuropsych testing as well as work with Alex to express his feelings. We have a genetics appointment next week--our list of specialists continues to grow exponentially. Even so, I do feel like we have more answers right now than we have ever had.

Back to school--Alex is struggling in math. Even basic addition is a challenge. It is no secret that I loathe the math curriculum our school district is using. It was definitely not written with a special needs child in mind. The curriculum kits that I ordered should be delivered tomorrow, giving me several days to sort through it. I am particularly excited about the math program. Imagine teaching kids about money by showing them pictures that look like real money and not this crap they were using in the district!
