My son got his report card from school. In his preschool the highest grade a child gets is excellent. He got mostly E's and S's (for satisfacory). They want his class to memorize humpty dumpty for a school program. It should be relatively easy for him to do.

About thirty minutes ago I was reading to my sons. My two year old pointed to a picture of a dog and said "he's behind" THat suprised me because I didnt know that he knew that vocabluary yet. So this tells me I need to be working with him more often and paying closer attention to what he knows and doesnt know.

Last week I became an independent representative with Avon. Its my homepage. They sell make up, skincare, apparel, and other things.

I just wanted to share something funny my son said to me. Picture day was yesterday at his school. So the day before yesterday I took him to the store. I helped him try on a dress shirt and tie in the fitting room. After I put on the tie he said "now I can walk like a man" It was real cute.

Its also encouraging. Because there was a time when he wasn't speaking at all. That's why i take all of the diagnoses and school test results with a grain of salt. The school tests always show him to be at alower or higher development than he is.

Today I had no time really for any educating. I had to take him to the pediatrician today. He left school with a bad cough. I was so angry because ever since I put him in the public school he is constantly getting sick. I truly wish I was able to give him all the attention he needs and continue to educate him myself. But with two other kids its just not possible. Well anything is possible it would just be hard and a lot of stress for me.

Then I took him to see his psychologist. She is the woman who diagnosed him with autism. That was a long trip. I live in a relatively small town so most specialists are at least an hour away.

     This blog will be used for talking about the developmental milestones and educational progress my son's make.

     My five year old has autism. He has the ability to communicate his problem is he needs more recepeptive language and understanding of five year old vocabulary. His social skills are also somewhat delayed.

     My two year old also needs help with his development. His developmental age does not match his chronological age. He will be three years old in May. I probably will do an official evaulation on him myself. ECI (Early Childhood Intervention) came and evaluated him. They determined that he is four months delayed in recpetive and expressive language.

     I wish I could homeschool but it does not fit with my lifestyle. I also have a six month old daughter and household duties to perform. So I guess you could call what I do "part time homeschooling" When my five year old is not in school I do things with him. I have taught him how to read and I am working on his social skills. He very easily gets attached to strangers and does not play age appropriate games.
