Progress?

So, Ricci was observed in class last week. He apparently did pretty well, however the nice lady said she could still see it is difficult to focus for him. She and I could not talk together, but she left me a nice message. She will return on Friday to help provide classroom support for him! His teacher believes he might have some ADD tendencies, but said it is all part of a puzzle and the key is to find the pieces.

I agree, and like that analogy. He changes so much that what was a problem in Spring at the beginning of the process might be different. Now, it is improving, but the focusing issues are still not there.

Yesterday getting into the car for example. I open the door and say "okay climb in and start to buckle your car seat and I will help you finish."

He gets in- half way, reaches for a toy on the ground. Talks to the toy. Reaches for a catalog on the other side, then turns around and looks on the other side of the car seat. (Yes, my car is FULL of toys and toy catalogs.) I finally put him in the car seat. I buckle him as he sings and play with his toy. Oblivious to what I'm doing, or seemingly oblivious, I should say.

Well, I also had the local school district call me Thursday, ask TONS of questions, and then Friday POOF! a child psychologist left a message for me to bring Ricci in this week. So, we shall see. Cross your fingers friends, this MIGHT be progress!
