School Time

Yesterday was not a great day for Junior.  I think it was likely some autonomic stuff because of all the weather changes lately.  He was sleepy and most definitely not his happy self.
We did a short school session and he made it clear he wasn't up to anything else.

He decided it was time to nap by the time we were done.


It was November 1st so time to start his yearly "thankful pumpkin".  Each day he chooses something to be thankful for which we add to his pumpkin along with a fall sticker.   We went through a large list of possibilities and he kept telling me no.  Then I mentioned his vent and got a big yes. 

Today has been much better and aside from needing a few short naps he is back to his happy self. 

School was successful today and he finished up the section on the moon. 

Here he is doing a little review then answering some questions. 

 I had to take a few moments break after this pic to compose myself.  I told Junior he was about done with his moon section and it was time for a quiz.  Without missing a beat he looks over at his ipad and says "whatever"(followed by a big, quite proud of himself, grin).  Yes, my child is mouthing off via communication device.  It was impossible to get mad when I was trying to hide my laughter and though I could not let him know I was also pleased to see such totally typical teen behavior.

Sun, star, and moon sections are done, now on to the planets.

 

Today Junior is thankful for his lift.  I am thankful to see that smile again and know he is feeling better.
