Day Three

Sunday, May 4, 2008

On Saturday we went to my dads to build a dog house and I saw what I *think* is a sign that Rainbow Man is responding to his medicine.

He was still a handful, energy out the wazoo, he still challenged me like an eight year old child is supposed to, but he was able to listen to complex directions and follow through with them. he was able to prove to my dad who is a stickler for safety that he was able to use the saw (With supervision) and is now the proud owner of a video of himself using a table saw!

While the kids were able to take a lot of breaks for simple run around playtime, rainbow man actually worked on the dog house, I'm not sure I have ever seen him do anything with that type of single mindedness and ...dare I say it? Concentration!

I was happy to see that even though he appeared to be concentrating, he was still my kid, still snotty at times, still fought with his brothers. in other words - NOT a zombie!

That's awesome to hear, seriously! This could be a very good thing (as scary & doubtful as it is as a parent)... You KNOW your kids, you'll keep a good eye out - it will all work out just fine. ((hugs)) to you all!
