Thurs. March 5th

This morning I went upstairs to wake up Connor because it was 6:30am and he wasn't downstairs yet. In his room I found him finishing up the last page of the book I bought him just YESTERDAY, A Kid's Guide to Creating Web Pages for Home and School, by Benjamin and Peter Selfridge. Connor must have been "sneak" reading during the night again. We left for Mass at 7:30am, and then we stopped to pick up the two toddlers I babysit on Thursdays. From there we went to Rochester for a Dr. appointment with Dr. Schworm of Encompass Learning Center. Dr. Schworm is an educational consultant who specializes in assessing the special needs of children. I took the two toddlers to Jump Club in Winton Place and left Connor with the Dr. for testing. When I picked him up, the Dr. requested we return on Monday for another hour or so. He needs to find some "more difficult" things to use for the academic portions of the test. He didn't find Connor's frustration level yet. At 2p, we finally arrived home. Immediately, Connor began his new web page on the computer. He wrote out all his ideas in the car on the way to Rochester. At 3p Connor had a horseback riding lesson. When we got home Connor played outside for awhile, made paper origami animals from a book we have, worked on his website, and wrote his scientific observations for his sugar crystal experiment. Another busy day!
