>>>Stevie only did it on the T.V.

when watching his favorite videos. Finally this year he said " how do

I get in there? " and we realized he was trying to go into the T.V.

This stopped immmediately after we explained. !!!<<<<

-

What an " Ah-Ha " moment!!!!

I think this is going to help quite a few people here!!! Jacqui never

banged her head on the TV, but would look behind it often, like trying to

find out where the characters were. She does this with pictures, etc. She

looks at the front, the will look at the back to see what they " look like "

in the back.

Pretty clever.

Yeah, I know about that. The best part about Aislynn is she can

write, and that gets her out of trouble with that kind of stuff. She

has a wonderful imagination, and is able to use the concepts in

English if you really work with her to understand them. History

is easy, because Geography and anything rote is cinchy for our

kids.

THAT is wonderful. The other boy is really getting an

education if he is pals with Mitch.

We should set up a flogging center on this list for the

purposes of getting our frustrations out on people like that.

I hate jocks too, but mainly because they think they're

better than everyone else because of a God-given

trait, nothing that they did.

May we, Jacquie?

Mitch thought he was hurt, but that doesn't

Wow! And he's only 13? I guess you don't have

I love this young man already, big and sweet.

Do they still have Discovery Zones any more?

That was where adults could play with their kids.

At least out here in CA

When I started on the computer over two years ago, I was

doing that, and I am a writer! Just practice, it comes.

IM helps a lot because you HAVE to learn to type

fast, or the other person gets bored. Hehe

It was good to read from you, . No, I have

not heard of the Buzzcocks, but I'll ask Jim when

he gets home, he remembers everything and led

a much less sheltered life than I.

I have had several ball pits over the years. Avoid the inflatable ones. We

currently have one that is made of wire and parachute material, but I do not

think it would stand up to a real big adult-sized kid!

I know that you can buy them from OT catalogues for a couple thousand

(OUCH!) and those are really really nice, but then that is really really

expensive. I think the idea of making one is great; the balls are easy to

come by.

This part about your son is just like my 11 1/2 year old who's in 6th grade.

I really don't think the teachers get it at all when you see some of the

stupid assignments they give. Who do they think is actually going to be

doing most of the work on this type of thing anyway!

My son is just over 4 1/2 feet tall and only about 65lbs. He is a very

selective eater. He also is bordering on encopresis right now. He's always

had a slow bowel, but it's worse lately.

Don't worry about how long your posts are. We all do long posts at one time

or another. Just say what you need to, long or short. That's what we're

here for!
