Out & About

Finally!  In his new class, James has had two good days in row. Although it's too early to be celebrating, I feel I am rightly optimistic.   Until this point, James hadn't had ANY, overall, good days in class 202.  I am also really excited about the homework that was sent home.  Among the usual coloring pages, was an ongoing assignment.  Each week, we take a picture of James in the neighborhood and he has to describe the photograph.  Below is this week's chosen photo and his typed description.  I am so so so PROUD of James!

And he typed it on a normal computer keyboard, too, not even his iPad.  At first he looked at the keyboard oddly, then he just began typing.  I was going to get him a large, brightly colored, child keyboard attachment for his birthday.  Um, Mom? Not necessary!
