OK, I’m backdating this post, but that’s ’cause I got lost in getting back to work – at least a little – and playing around with my new SecondLife.
The rest of the Thanksgiving weekend was a good lesson in why having structure is important for youngsters. Roxanne had a lot of fun, but was also more than a handful a lot of the time as well. Structure is hard – even for adults. But we all enjoyed it and even got a few useful things done, like finishing up some yardwork. But we still could have used some more time off, and a little more help (or ideas) in keeping Roxanne productively occupied. At least her conversation skills continue to grow by leaps and bounds. It’s amazing the things she parrots back, weeks later – or comes up with phrasing on her own. I’ll try to get some examples later on.
