My Guy

He is a teenager...has been for nearly a year. He is one of the sweetest, gentlest, kindest, funniest, fact finding, fact sharing, Mindcraft madman, mathematical minded, open hearted, full of love, always sharing with others, good looking young teen I know. He has had a rough year in school trying to make his way without the ability to create focus for himself and for that I am proud of the grades he has brought home. His average was around B/C without F's. We have worked hard to help him and I have even been a little embarrassing to him by showing up to his school to help him with homework but he has never once told me that I'm bugging him. He is always grateful for help.

Thanks to Dr Taggarts speediness we are getting his focus back for him as early as next week. He is honest about his ADHD. He isn't embarrassed about it, nor does it define him. I love this guy.

Yesterday he had a dentist appointment for a filling. He did great (better than his mom at that age-I walked out of the dentist chair) for as terrified as he was. He has a strong gag reflex and could only use the rubber sheet that goes around the tooth. We held hands the whole time and he said it helped calm him down....mamma's touches always seem to do that! It did cross my mind that I hope when he is 28 and getting his teeth worked on, that I don't have to be there. Dr Gray was awesome and went extremely slow so that Ethan understood everything!
