UPDATE!!!

Today was a good day! Dominic got up this morning and woke Grandma and said,"Grandma is it tomorrow now?" Grandma said yes Dominic it is! He was dressed and ready to go to school by 7:00am. School didn't start until 12:30pm, he had the treat bucket and was so excited to share with all of his friends that he wanted to make sure he was ready. He is learning so much, he is learning about similar items. He is doing so well, i hope he keeps up the good work.

Well we are successfully in our 3rd week of school for Anthony. He has the most awesome teacher this year. He is patient and kind and willing to accomodate Anthony and help him have a successful 6th grade year. Anthony is doing awesome, he is doing so well and is so excited to almost be done with Elementary school. Oh my where does the time go? We met today with the Neuro Psyh doctor on his testing we had done. She was blown away....... she stated that she has never had a child come into her office for testing that did as well as Anthony did. She stated that he is average in everything and above average in some areas. He does have some symptoms of ADHD but not as bad as she thought he would. He has extremely bad anxiety (I wonder where he gets that from) she is suggesting cognitive therapy and some for the anxiety, she told Anthony over and over that he needs to go to College, she told him he is too intelligent not to go! She suggested to Joe and I that we try a more structured lifestyle for him. We have already started that with school but now it has to be with everything he does in his day! Dr Russo says the more structure he has the more he will believe in himself and feel he doesn't have to be perfect just to do good! I am so glad for him, I now tell him you can not play dumb any more we have had you tested and you are way to smart! He gets a kick out of it. I can not wait for the changes I have already begun to see in him. He is such a cute kid and has such a beautiful personality! I guess I can say that cause I am his mom and I will always think he is cute even when he is sassy!
