Post before the end of April

So, here we are and I'm back to my old ways (not posting for months at a time). Update: R. is doing very well in school...his new teacher is awesome! She has literally turned a horrible school year around for R., and for that, we are eternally grateful. R. loves his new psychologist (Dr. J.), and she seems to have had such a positive impact on him these past few months. He actually asked to call his dad a few times in the last few weeks (something he would never have done before), and he is now writing so much better (still a bit hard to decipher his handwriting, but he is getting faster and less frustrated with his writing). We had a funny conversation the other day:

R. wanted me to say "yes" to something he wanted to do.

Me: R., I'm still thinking about it.

R: Well, is it "yes" or "no?"

Me: I'm in the middle...I'm halfway to "yes."

R: Then, what will you do with the other half?

Literalism rears its funny head again. He turns 9 in one week....hard to believe! He's having his birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese...let's hope we all survive!
