Monday, the Kindergartners celebrated Abraham Lincoln's birthday, and so they made hats! Alex loved wearing his, and it is reported that he even wore his after everyone took theirs off.
Let this be a sign that Alex's week started off amazingly. He has done such a good job these last couple of weeks, we could not be more proud of him. He, in his own way, is taking the positive behaviors lessons to heart. He reads his social stories every day about no yelling, no biting, and no hitting, and he is practicing being respectful to his stuffed animals when he gives them doctor check ups. I know when he gets frustrated it is hard for him to remember what he is supposed to do, but he is working on it.
On Wednesday, things started to go downhill for him. He started to get sick, like many others in his class, but his illness had another issue along with it. He told Mrs. Harger and Mrs. G that his ear hurt, but he wasn't pulling on it like he normally does when he has an ear infection. But when he went to Grandpa's house Thursday and Friday, we managed to figure out what was happening: He is getting in his 6 year molars! So Dad got him some ibuprofen and numbing gel on his way home from work, and Alex seems a-ok with the new addition to his mouth.
He was down Thursday and Friday, and he gave me his illness so I was sick the last half of Friday and all of Saturday. So Alex was in charge of taking care of me.
Today, I am feeling much better, and he is happy because Dad is home all day today. So what are they doing? Playing games.
Alex, I think, is just happy that he doesn't have to deal with mom all by himself today.
Lastly, Alex is participating in Jump Rope for Heart this year! So, this being his first ever fundraiser, it is sort of special. Below is a link to his page, if you would like to donate. I have already explained to him what he is jumping for, and why it is important. I think he is excited, after all, jumping is one of his favorite things to do!
