It's a long day's drive, but we'll get there on Sun, Feb. 18 (Son #3's bday) and return hom the following weekend. I'm looking forward to it, but I'm a little overwhelmed about all the places to see and things to do!Elle*Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10604921872829122749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14787041.post-1169565707348620092007-01-23T07:21:00.000-08:002007-01-23T07:21:00.000-08:00Sounds like you have a little Mensa child!!

(sigh) LOL<BR/><BR/>Hi, <B>lala</B>, he loves science and geography. For years he wanted to be a paleontologist, but now, thanks to Star Wars Episode Whatever, he wants to be a bounty hunter. :-O Never mind the fact that he's only 4'3" and 55 lbs soaking wet. The way be creates things with Legos makes me think he might be good at engineering or inventing. Of course the way he debates the rules and tries to find loop holes, perhaps a career in law (apologies to my attorney friends).Elle*Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10604921872829122749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14787041.post-1169321284474417722007-01-20T11:28:00.000-08:002007-01-20T11:28:00.000-08:00ok he sounds amazing! a scientist in the making or...ok he sounds amazing! a scientist in the making or what???!!!<BR/>and so excited for you and your family going to see Mickey!

I'm sure your kids are just as gifted as mine seems to be, just perhaps in a different way. If it's any consolation, he's completely clueless about "social conventions" which is why I think Aspbergers was twice suggested (altho' he hasn't been tested). He is wicked smart, but lacks the intuition to know that 'uh oh, my smart assed nature offended someone.' :-D LOL<BR/><BR/>As for inventions, so far none of his has made it off the paper, as evidenced by the fact that our garage hasn't exploded (yet).Elle*Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10604921872829122749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14787041.post-1169173371650262422007-01-18T18:22:00.000-08:002007-01-18T18:22:00.000-08:00I am speechless.

He and I have both been formally diagnosed with ADHD, but few things seem to 'stick' in my brain, while almost everything seems to stick in his. Which just goes to show that he's paying attention even when we think he isn't. :-) <BR/><BR/>I think my brain is too cluttered with TV theme songs, the cast and characters from virtually every 70's and 80's sitcom, and stupid song lyric. That's why I can't retain any <I>useful</I> information. (But it's also why I'm pretty good at the Trivial Pursuit Genus Edition's pink and orange categories!)Elle*Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10604921872829122749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14787041.post-1169172801895619782007-01-18T18:13:00.000-08:002007-01-18T18:13:00.000-08:00Oh, he's destined for big things, I think.

He's a very sweet guy, but he's also the one who has the most challenges (speech impairment, ADHD, very small for his age, the term 'Aspbergers' has been mentioned more than once, but he hasn't been tested, seizure, not recently, thank goodness). But I do believe that God grants us special graces through adversity. That's why I think He has special plans for my boy.Elle*Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10604921872829122749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14787041.post-1169172570678070192007-01-18T18:09:00.000-08:002007-01-18T18:09:00.000-08:00That is so cool.I wish I could do that.

Maybe he'll grow up and find a cure for cancer or something. Or at least be a Doctor and buy you lots of stuff. LOLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
