Thursday Thankfulness
I will veer slightly off topic for a moment to say that first I am thankful that President Obama’s inauguration went well! I’m also thankful that Gus’s school made it possible for the kids to see it. Gus was excited about it, but his only comment when he got home was that the speech was too long. That’s valid coming from a seven year old. My five year old was a bit…disgruntled about having to watch “the bad news” at first, but then became more engaged after I explained, “We have to watch this because it will never, ever happen again. No matter how many African-American presidents we have after President Obama, we’ll never be able to see the first again.” She seemed to get it!It was an awesome day.
I am thankful that Gus’s behavioral evaluation (evaluation done by a behavioral specialist) went relatively well, according to his teacher. He had a good day on Tuesday and didn’t have his rough day until yesterday. She’ll be back, but at least she’s seen that he can have a good day, and often does.
I am thankful that my buddy Adonya Wong, author of In My Mind, will be here in just a couple of days, stopping for her Virtual Book Tour! She’ll be discussing a typical day with her son, Nicholas, biomedical interventions she tried and their effectiveness for Nicholas, and other very interesting topics! Save the date and stop by on Saturday January 24th and see what she has to say about life Through the Eyes of Autism!
And as always, please share your thankfulness below.
