John Boy

Last night John was playing the Veggie Tales game on the computer. There's a part towards the end on a pirate ship that involves a puzzle. Sometimes he'll have me help him with it. But, I was upstairs, and when I came down to check on him, he had already done it. He said "It was kinda hard, but I worked at it." Ha!

This morning he wanted to hold the little American flag we keep up in a little basket. He kinda started doing this at Grandpa and Grandma's, but he likes to use it as a starter's flag, like for a car race. He kinda leans on one knee, and throws his arm out straight with the flag, and says "Gooooo!" I think he saw that on a Care Bears video or something.

Rhonda asked him how many stars were on the flag, and John started counting "1,2,3,4,5..." Ha. Rhonda then said there are 50 stars, for the 50 states. John knows he lives in the state of Minnesota.

John went to his preschool yesterday morning for awhile. He went so he could be in a classroom setting, as someone from the school district came to observe him in that setting. And, I guess John did some of the behavior he did in school sometimes. Which is a good thing, so the person could see what we're talking about. I think that was the last step in the school district's evaluation, and now they'll look at what we might do.

I'm not sure though. I mean, the symptoms are fairly apparent, but I don't know if we have any idea as to the cause. So, if we're not sure of the cause, I'm not sure how we can be sure we're doing the right treatment. I'm really looking forward to what this OT clinic comes up with for John.
