Thursday Thankfulness
It seems there have been quite a few things to be thankful about this week, but I’ll stick to my usual 3:
1. I am thankful for the amazing weather we’ve had. It’s been like springtime and I can see the difference in mood and energy level for all of us. The fact that he just caught a cold will not dampen my glee and having a whole week of not having to wear 20 layers inside the house.
2. I am thankful that Gus received a People Respecting Others award at his quarterly assembly yesterday. I thought it was an academic award, but I really like the fact that he got a reward for something more related to social skills. It’s an awesome positive reinforcer.
3. I am thankful for the great conversation I had with the teacher of the class our district has been trying to get me to agree to send Gus to. I’ll be visiting the class next week even though I doubt I’ll want him to move. But I’m going in with an open mind.
I am also thankful that giving up sugar hasn’t killed me in the…one day I’ve been off it, but that’s a story for another blog! Please share your gratitude below and have a great weekend!
Go GUS! My little experience with Gus has shown him to be a very fun, VERY funny young man. He deserves this award, as much as his parents deserve recognition for their efforts. And go you with your non-sugar-having self!
Good luck with the school visit, hope things go well.
You know what I keep wondering, there are so many kids diagnoses now with a variety of things, why? I mean why are so many more kids afflected with problems then it seemed there were in my growing up years? I don’t know your age, but with a young child assume I’m probably old enough to be your mom. I really wonder what we are doing nationally that make so many more kids have signifcant problems?

Great news on his award!
I’m thankful for a good sense of humour which as gotten me through the last few days with my little one discovering new things to get into.
