I have this dream of being this homeschool mom. You know, with a place for everything and everything in its place. And crafty little ideas that R2 can grasp and just have it together in general. Whenever I think about this woman, I get discouraged. I have lots of ideas, lots of creativity. But I don't know how to really get in Richy's head. And sometimes I think if I tried it, I would just keep working forever and ever and never get anywhere.
Some things he picks up and runs with- so I'm always on the lookout and hoping for some clue as to his thought process.
Logical things, like stack the blocks on top of each other, make a circle with the Playdoh- he has no real interest in, doesn't seem to have any understanding. And yet his sense of humor is highly defined... he understands subtleties and context that other kids don't. He understands music. He likes to be read to.... that's a key, I know. But his brain is a mystery to me in all the kind-of academic places.
Homeschool starts next week- maybe the week after. I have to make a plan.

and frist!
ReplyDeletethat's very exciting! it's like a treasure hunt to find the paths into r2's intricate mind.
ReplyDeletealso, i've heard and read things that make me think that if he get's music, then if you focus on developing that, it will also help develop other areas.
very exciting!
=)
You are very creative Jess and you will do fine........
ReplyDeleteGod will give you all the ideas you need as you need them, just ask HIM.
What about sewing cards for hand eye coordination?
If he can grasp & enjoy music, R2 might grasp & enjoy numbers & counting. I have always been told by music teachers that this is very common.
ReplyDeleteNot frist!
ReplyDeleteSceond!
School.... you can do school. you're a genious!
ReplyDeleteAwesome news from MPC on the job!
I WAS FRIST AND SCEOND
ReplyDeleteTHANKK YOU!!!
ReplyDeleteit is finally sinking in... that i will ONLY HAVE TO WORK ON MON - FRIDAYS!!! i've never had that type of nursing job!
when I said 6 weeks vacation... they don't pay us for holidays or sick days or anything else...just give us so many hours of PTO (Paid Time Off)... and once, when I had a major surgery back in 2002, I hadn't used any of my PTO prior to the surgery, and I was able to be OFF THE WHOLE 6 WEEKS FOR RECOVERY without missing any pay!!!
That's why I say 6 weeks' vacation. I don't know how you Human Resources Peeps call it...
Nursing is a very good profession to enter...and we need more good, intelligent, caring individuals to join the field. They pay us well, to keep us and to get quality people. The hospital is considering having services brought into the hospital...where the nurses and other staff there could bring their laundry or dry cleaning and then pick it up the next day, gift services, auto care services, etc... of course, we'd have to pay for it, but it would really be a convenience...
any hoo.. thanks for the congrats!
as the reality of the new job sinks in, i'm growing with excitement!
jess,
ReplyDeletethat harmonica serenade by tobias clark was awesome! my girls and i were majorly impressed!
MPC- Human Resources Peeps would call it 6 weeks PTO.... for the record.

Good morning all, Well I took the big plunge of the bridge this morning and gave my notice at my job. This has become a very difficult place for me to work and the demands on my time from home are great. So I am going to try to help Matt get his business off the ground and running good, and maybe start baking more again. It is weird all of the sudden I have had people asking me if I was going to start making pies and stuff again. I have not had the time till now. So we shall see. If I start taking orders you guys will be the first to know!
ReplyDeleteHi Katie,
ReplyDeleteIt is good to hear from you again. I am glad to hear you are doing well!
Hey Katie-- glad you're doing good.
ReplyDelete"I love guys" - that's a funny typo. = )
