Did you know…
This puzzle piece is SO true!
Caleb is SO intelligent…and yet, some of the most simple concepts he just doesn’t grasp. He can spell words that you’d never expect a 5 year old to be able to (i.e. dinosaur, college, etc). He can write his name…he can count to 30 (frontward and backwards)…he knows all of his colors and shapes…and he can sing like you wouldn’t believe! He’s an amazing little boy.
However, he still struggles with some general motor skills like using utensils correctly…even though he sometimes does it without thinking, most of the time it’s a struggle….
He still needs assistance with some things…but he’s come a LONG way from where he was last year at this time. He’s enjoying being in a normal class environment and I think that it will help his social skills tremendously!
We’re getting him prepared for kindergarten and are excited to see how he’ll respond. I think that it will be surprisingly pleasant!
So…how was your weekend???? Come on…give details!

You seem to prepared Caleb well for school . Children can be amazing
I bet he does fine!
What’d I do..um…moped around!
Wonderful, despite having a cold and working, because I spent it with you.
Wow! Caleb sounds like he’s very intelligent. Spell those words and count to 30 at 5 yrs. old? That’s amazing. You have a right to be very proud Maria!
BTW, how are you feeling since your fall? Better I hope!
-Lorie-
That’s awesome that Caleb can do all that at his age!
My good friend Shellie is a teacher of autistic children, and the kids in her room are fascinating. That puzzle piece you have in the corner of your entry is so very true
I think the Avs will beat the Stars in the 1st round. It might be close, but they will prevail.
Weekend was fine. I’m hoping my future will be better.
i had an excellent weekend. it was spent in lexington. woohoo.
You have a wonderful son. With the right help, he’ll come along fine where he’s falling short now.
aww that’s great. i’m glad that things are going well with him!
Caleb sounds like a really remarkable young boy. But a lot of autistic kids are really smart in a lot of ways. He will definitley on his better days be ready for kindegarten. I will keep you all in my prayers. Have a great day and a wonderful tomorrow ! ! ! Much love and many hugs and prayers ! ! !
