Yes, Mom is Computer Challenged!

Organization and scheduling all that our family has to get done over the weekend is one of the things we struggle with. Well, Paul went somewhere in the morning and when he returned he was writing out the "plan" and was asking each one of use what we wanted to share and give input on regarding how the rest of the afternoon and night were going to go. Ashley told Dad what she did this morning.. and said,"well I finished my room this morning so I want to blah blah blah . Then I chimed in and her comes Ryan.....He had done nothing that morning except listen to me obviously all morning long... he says. when Paul said to him What do you want to add in Ryan. ............



MOM LOST HER PRESENTATION

Oh yes, all morning long I was complaining because somehow I did not save the Children's Hospital Autism Conference Power Point presentation on my Laptop.. I was loudly complaining about the fact I was such a idiot for forgeting to save it..or somehow the computer ate it....... I also was softly complaining, murmuring the majority of the afternoon about this unfortunate event until Paul walked through the door!............ He was listening that's for sure!!



Poor Ryan .........that was what his morning was filled with!! I apologized.

Ryan Reading Reader's Digest!

My Mom bought us these Reader Digest Books she found at a garage sale.. that had the large print for those folks whose eyes need every bit of help they can get .. mine included these days.. So anyways, After Ryan kicked me under the table the day before and told me,"I can read"... need to put that into our blog.. Well, Ashley and I decided to see if he could read the Reader Digest.

Ashley took great notes so here we go.......... ( Ryan in blue font color)

Ryan do you think you could read a book if you tried hard?
NOT EASY
Ryan read these words in the magazin and tell us what they say. ( Ashley and I silently pointed out the words
AHEAD OF THE CLASS
We kept pointing
How old was the girl in the article?
TWELVE
What did she build?
A SCHOOL
In what country was that school?
VIETNAM
He was correct on everything!... so ....Ryan can read..

Ashley's Shirt

So, here comes Ashley downstairs to where Ryan and I are just about to start learning our lesson on long division. Ashley standing in the doorway says .. Hey Mom what do you think of my new shirt.. (we went to Kenwood and bought this kinda flowing, flower shirt something you would have seen in the 60's ) I said oh I like it..... what do you think Ryan? He spells:

HER SHIRT IS ELEGANT
SHE IS IN A CLASS ALL HER OWN
NOT EVEN I CAN REACH WHERE ASHLEY IS
ALREADY RYAN IS MAKING CARELESS MISTAKES
HER NOT LIKE RYAN
RYAN TO INTERESTED IN HIMSELF

I told him ..oh I know you and Dad and I think Ashley is so kind and always concerned about you and lovey towards you... but you are and I listed lots of things he was.. he didn't really by it... said
RYAN INTERESTED IN RYAN.

Dad makes Ryan Calm!

Ryan spelled out his thoughts right before we started dying Easter eggs.. which to most of us dying Easter eggs is looked at as a fun and a easy activity

I asked Ryan if he wanted to dye Easter eggs and he spelled out:

MOM I WANT TO MAKE EGGS DAD
MAKES RYAN CALM
PLEASE HAVE DAD HELP RYAN WITH EGGS

I just didn't know................. that is how he felt about his Dad..... Paul helped Ryan that day.
