I just wanted to share this great drawing that my 5 year old son did today.  It’s only one of many.  And I’m telling you that the kid gets better and better everyday.  So I guess you could say I’m a proud Mama.  Okay…..if you are wondering who it is.  It’s Garfield and Friends!!  One of his current obsessions these days.  That’s Garfield in the middle, then to the left you’ll see Wade the Duck, with the innertube around his waist, and he’s flapping his arms.  He loves to draw things in motion.  Which I think is pretty darn cool.

To those of you who don’t know, my son was recently diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder.  Very mild and high functioning.  You wouldn’t be able to tell if you didn’t know it.  Well, he’s been drawing like this since he was about 2 1/2.  Of course, he’s gotten even better over the years, but he still amazes me today.

Thanks for stopping by My Mama Drama!

Last weekend was my “almost” 20 year reunion. One of the reasons I haven’t had time to post anything in a while.

Anyway, instead of waiting until next year, the class of ‘87 invited the classes of ‘88 (my class) and ‘89 to have a 3 year reunion. At our school, our classes usually only consisted of about 30 students, so I’m really glad we did it that way. We had a great turnout! Friday night, each class met individually at different locations for a little “meet and greet” party. Then Saturday, all 3 classes got together for a huge party with an 80’s Band. I didn’t go to my 10 year reunion, so there were actually people there I hadn’t seen in 20 years!! It’s really strange how you can go that long without seeing someone, then when you do, it’s like it was yesterday. Here’s a picture of 2 of my best friends from high school.

I met with our public school system to discuss my daughter’s speech evaluation/assessment this Wednesday. She’s been recommended for speech therapy starting August for the school year.  Since she won’t be starting speech therapy until August through the school system, I asked her ped to send a referral for speech therapy to the same place that my son goes to. They too recommended her for speech, and she had her first session the other day, and did wonderful! I really am excited and ready for them to start school.  The school they are going to comes very highly recommended, and I’ve heard the teachers are wonderful.
