Back to School



The kids have started school this week and I am enjoying the little bit of free time to get things accomplished. Dominic loves school and comes home so happy and excited and talkative. If you know Dominic you will know that this is close to a miracle considering he has Aspergers and can be very closed up. He has come so far and I can say it is because of early intervention and therapy. He still has his times but loves to learn. He is like a sponge and learns so visually. He forgot one of the teachers names but could spell it.
Reynaldo on the other hand hates school with a passion. The first day he went back he was so anxious and couldn't sleep which is understandable. I remember feeling that way before school started when I was a child. He left with a smile and found a frown to bring home. Homework time is even worse. He is already struggling with remembering. We really need to have him tested for auditory processing.
He seems to be regulating his moods at school Thank goodness but seems to be very explosive when he comes home again. I need to take him to have his blood work done again to see if his meds for Bipolar are still at a therapeutic level.
