Guest guest Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 Hi MontyMan's mom, Donna, How did it go? CONGRATULATIONS! MontyMan, SENIOR 2004! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo Lots of hugs to you and MontyMan! Prayers on the next hurdle that all may go well. I hope he adapts to life changes when they occur with the after graduation. I'm glad High school was a good turn out for him and vice versa with the school he attended. I just recently read an article called " THE GROOVE " by Dennis McGuire,Ph.D. " One of the most interesting and consistent findings from the Adult Down syndrome Center is the discovery that people with DS need sameness, repetition and order in their lives. We call this tendency the " groove, " because their thoughts and actions tend to follow fairly worn paths, or grooves. " The article continues with a break down of types of Grooves but I wrote just a wee piece of it above. I wonder how MontyMan's groove will be to succeed with his on-going journey? There is an old saying, " Variety is the spice of life. " Keep us posted on the " what next? " Hugs! Irma,15,DS/ASD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 wow wtg montyman, they grow up way too fast, I hope he still gets to see those who have been with him for so long, even if just on occasion, maybe they can send him cards or letters and him to them too. shawna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 a, Montyman and I went to my grandson's baseball game the other night, and Montyman's Teacher was there, as her son is on C.J.'s team! Monty just assumes the whole world was created for him, ya know. He was glad to see her, but didnt want ME there! It was funny, because when I went to the school, he let me know that I didnt belong there, either! At the game, the kid's knew him, and he went and sat down behind the dug out. The kid's were all so interested in talking to Monty, that the coach had to come in twice and remind them that the game was being played 'out there'!....I thought I had better move MontyMan but he wouldnt budge. And at 175 pounds, once he plants himself, I am powerless to make him move! He let me know he didnt want me around, so I went to the bleachers with the mom's and just watched him from a distance. He was THRILLED to see his Teacher, Ms.Windy, there!! But every time I walked up, he barked at me and pushed me away! Jeese, I COULD get my feelings hurt, if I didnt know him so well! I didnt belong there, because the last two games, my daughter took him. Game time, ya know, is like School time, with the kid's, and MOM doesnt belong there, how embarassing! LOL!! The Turkey wouldnt budge till the game was over. Anyway, I am glad, he will be able to continue seeing some of the people who have been in his life for the past 5 years. Ms. has had him in her classroom for 5 years!!! He grew up with her.!!! We live in a small community, so I am sure we will be in touch with everyone! Nice, huh? Donna, Montyman's Mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
