My campaign "speech" was, "If you don't vote for me, you have to take my place on the board".
Congratulations on a well ran campaign and a landslide win!!
LL - I second suggestion of letting your DGS pick his own socks and shoes out. DS9 went through a really sensitive phase to certain materials. Not only did he not want to wear certain material, he didn't want it next to him (someone else wearing it). He was extremely adverse to it touching him. His problem (I think) was the sound the material made more than the texture. It was an easily solved issue by letting him pick the material of items he wore. I don't know if he has outgrown it or we have just become adjusted to buying material that doesn't bother him. I think there is an official DSM name for this. ....sensory something.
DS9 is now an official member of a Homeschool Coop. They said there were boys his age in the group, but we didn't meet any of them today. The parents & kids I meet today seemed open and encouraging. I am hopeful.
We went to Sam's to do list shopping and let DS9 get something to eat. We did more than list shopping (rare for me). I saw some shelves with bins and decided that is exactly what DS9 needs in his bedroom instead of chest of drawers that have trouble with the drawers falling out and/or shutting properly. I normally don't like the bin/shelf style of furniture but I'm becoming a convert. I like they are easy to change tall or short and # of bins used. OH....and the fact they are about 1/4 the price of a chest of drawers plays a big factor in my decision too. I have one of the set of shelves/bins assembled and in place. I came here to take a break before assembling the 2nd set.
DS9 and I got set up for archery practice at home. DH was not pleased with my configuration. Granted. He has some valid reasons since we already shot an arrow through the house siding. OOPS! ANYway, DH took DS9 to a piece of land we own in the country to do archery practice there.
