No Glasses Needed! Are You Sure?

Yep, that is what our new eye doctor said about Curtis today; No Glasses Needed!!!  Curtis has been wearing glasses for 2 years now mainly for watching TV, computer work or doing school time.  Now after spending all the money we have spent, he does not need them.

He is concerned still that Curtis suffers from Dyslexia and will benefit from testing, so he told me about Lexercise.  Lexercise is an on-line site that helps test children and adults for things like dyslexia.  

We are going to do the test this week, and see what Curtis' needs are.

Another Pet? YEP, sure looks like it!!!

Tonight we went to file taxes, out to eat and then we went to the pet store to pick up some plants for the fish tank and it happened!!

Curtis has been wanting a new pet for a while.  He has wanted everything from new fish, knowing that we can't put anything else in with the beta to a bird.  Well absolutely NO birds, his sister had some and they were a nightmare, the chicks are enough.  So he decided tonight that he would like to have a hermit crab.  Okay, a crab won't be so bad, at least I hope not.

So tonight we embarked on yet another pet journey, sort of.  We bought a habitat for the crab, will get the crab or crabs this weekend.

He looks so happy with an empty container, don't he???  Maybe this will keep him busy for a while and give us another lapbook to do in the coming week.  Something for him and something for me!
 Here they are, 4 Hermit Crabs.  There is one Fancy in the green shell and the other 3 are regular ones.  They are all pretty cool.

Curtis and V'Day

Notice I did not spell that out!  Curtis can't stand Valentine's Day so we don't do anything for it, well sort of not anything.  He does have to have his BIG HERSHEY KISS!

We don't do crafts, or talk about how the day came about.  We don't buy stuffed animals or V'Day cards to pass out to friends and family, use to when he was much younger, but not anymore.  We are still not quite sure WHY he detest this day, but he does.  I always tell him that one day when he is older he will find a girl that he really likes and he will be her Valentine!  He just says "YUCK"!

He is only 10 years old, so who knows.

He tells his father and I that this is HIS VACATION TIME and that he is not to be bothered on this day.  So it is all good.

Meltdown Friday

Curtis had a meltdown just about 1:00 PM, nothing major but still a meltdown. He was getting audio books off his shelves to take back to the library when they all fell (he keeps them neatly stacked and organized) and well, that's all she wrote! :(

Curtis

This is Curtis!

Curtis was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome or High Functioning Autism and Expressive Language Disorder in 2009.  He was diagnosed with ADD/ADHD in 2010.  All the years that we struggled with his in-formal education to his formal education, with all the tears and meltdowns, all of this could have been avoided or eased if only the pediatrics that we trusted in for so many years would have just stepped down from her high-horse over homeschooling and just sent him for testing!
