Teaching Jeremiah, A Journey into the Mind of an Asperger's Child

Jan. 22, 2009

Concerta & Phony Ponies

Jerry started Concerta at 27 mgs. a day last week and.....drumroll please.....it's a success!  He's back to the sweet and calm little boy that doesn't mind doing school, is sorry when he misbehaves, and plays nice with his sinlings.  THANK YOU, LORD!  And may this last for a long time to come!

Today we had a field trip to Gramma's Hug-n-Farm.  He had so much fun.  I have to share this funny though.  You know how there are picture of girls and boys on the outsides of bathroom doors so you know which is which?  At the farm, there were pictures of girl and boy bunnies.  First off, Jerry thought they were pictures of baby chicks and, I have to say, at first glance they could look like them.  The girls' bathroom bunnies had boys on their heads and the boys' bunnies didn't.  Before we left, Jerry went to use the bathroom.  After walking and looking at all of the doors, he said to me, "Which one do I go in mommy?  These bathrooms are for chickens!"

Here are some farm pics.  There's Jerry holding a seven-day-old lamb, Jerry and his best bud Sammy "horsin' around", Jerry and the feathers he was fascinated to find and collect, Jerry on one of the "phony pony" swings, and cuddling with a bunny.
