They've got one or two alpha smarts already. All the kids get to use them sometimes. I've seen it on his contract work before, and I know he does some writing assignments on an electronic thingy which looks like a typewriter with a teensy screen.

I'll suggest the tickets. Thanks!

The teacher also made sure to mention that there was no arrogance about son's blurting out, he's just already anticipating where they're going with the discussion and has trouble slowing down and giving the others who may be shy a chance to add input. He even seems to like listening to the others. He's in the discussion and a part of it and never comes out with "Friday I saw a movie and..." so it's not like he's just bored with the whole circle time thing.

*I* would be, so there's a generational improvement.

There's days where I'm mentally going "We're walking.. we're walking.. we're walking.. and we're stopping. AAAAAAAAAA!!!!"

HUGS Zero

LOL ROse:)

HUGS Rosie..that's why the tickets help. Keeps a visual prompt for him that he needs to slow down a bit in the comment dept. Yes the alpha smart is the bitty typewriter with small one line screen.I pretty much had the same problem. Since his brain is already moving forward to further aspects of the discussion it's hard to remember to wait for those who need time to " catch up" He suffers from the " get it,.. got it...go" thing that I and probably you do. Once we get it we're off and running and we forget to wait for the others to get it too..

Drinks on me. I'm raising a glass for Adam Carolla and his final show.

Get it..got it...gone.

It's more like "That was FUN!! What next?!"

Enthusiasm we are not in short supply of, patience is something that happens to other people.

Although he will be extremely patient with other children when he's aware that he's helping them. There's a girl about his age who has multiple physical developmental issues and can't speak much yet. He was so proud of himself when she said "Hi Kenny" to him one morning. She's very particular about who she's willing to make the effort for. Smaller and younger kids he also recognizes as needing special treatment. Anybody who is the same size or older is fair game for race you to the finish.
The older boys are around his size and he sees them wrestling and horsing around and wants to do that too, but he's still not quite there yet with knowing his own strength and mass and when it's time to stop with kids his own age. (Did I mention he's 9 1/2 years old and coming up on 5'0" rapidly?)
He's also got a much more open idea of boundaries and personal space. He does ask before hugging. The girls don't seem to mind so much. (Did I mention he's got big blue eyes and a nice smile?)The boys wave him off, or hug as they feel comfortable. He loves everybody and isn't embarassed to show affection. (I got *something* right!)Everybody describes him as "sweet, caring, wonderful, smart" except one or two older girls who'd roll their eyes and say "weird, annoying, nerd". (Again: score 1 for mom!)

I lurves my little nerdling.

I'm drying his gi for tonight's karate class. Gotta get him fed (shoveling biomass into the bottomless pit and we've still got at least three years to go before we hit the BIG growth spurts) then to the dojo. If there's time after I get him home I may head over to a friend's house to potluck and watch Dollhouse and BSG.

I did something I've always wanted to today. I snagged ginormous wodges of cheese at the grocery store. There was a round of gorgonzola which had been sliced in half, leaving a round hunk about an inch and a half thick. MINE! And some Peccorino Romano. MINE! And fresh mozzarella, 2 lbs, MINE! Everything but the mozz keeps. There wasn't really a price break, but I was covetous.

I have PLANS mwahahahaha.... pumpkin gnocchi with gorgonzola, mushroom risotto with gorgonzola.. pizza with fresh mozzarella and basil..
I need to go find a spittoon.

Hangs an old elk head on the wall for ambience, then tosses a floral bonnet on an antler to assert her femininity.
