Dad reports:
Last night we have a very nice group of people attend the support group meeting. Great discussion was had and amazingly enough we barely touched on the school system.
Cathy attended the meeting which meant we had all 4 kids. We filed in like a scene from a movie or a clown car. “This is my son Tommy.” 2 seconds pass. “Wife Cathy” 2 seconds pass. “That’s Sarah” 2 seconds passes. “Noah” 1 second. “And Amy.” The kids were on fantastic behavior and not the distraction I expected them to be. Another mother brought her 2 children so at the beginning of the meeting the kids out numbered the adults but we got reinforcements.
Tommy’s favorite part of the library is the “Quiet Study.” He takes a book of comic strips, like Garfield, into the room and closes the door so that he can laugh out loud without disturbing anyone. Tommy has been very nice and cooperative lately. He has almost no outbursts and when he does they are very brief. Even the edge on his sharp tongue has dulled.
