Why do men get all the cool ways to spell relief?

Not fair I tell you.

Masturbation could bring hay fever relief for men (Originally seen on Dodson and Ross)

I'll post pictures later, but I wanted to jot down some things I learned this week.

-Don't read the stupid 20+ page report from the Doctors telling you how bad your kid has autism. Which also includes statements saying that homeschooling is a really, really bad idea. Its like getting car advice from someone who not only doesn't own a car, but rides their bike everywhere.
-The report is a snapshot of one day. Its not the continuum that you see everyday.
-Heavy protein breakfasts help Ike to focus and not be so hyper.
-Ike also responds well to 250 mg of both L-Tyrosine and GABA.
-Circle time needs to be short, sweet, and standing up.
-Lock Charlie the dog in another room. (And I mean lock, the girls will let him out if they get a chance.)
-More Brain Gym.
-We need more free drawing time with the block crayons. Ike gets frustrated with them as he's trying to use them like a crayola stick crayon and he's making lots of drawing errors (i.e. drawing a line somewhere he didn't mean to). In the mean time, simpler blackboard drawings.
-Hey! There's onion skins between the pages in the Main Lesson Book
-Erase each word of the copywork verse as he writes them, Ike gets lost looking at the whole thing (I'll let him grow up a bit more before I try that again)
-Now I know why, when looking at pictures of other Main Lesson Books, there are little stars between each word. They are not decorations, they are word spaces...they just also look really, really pretty.
-ratio for watercolor paint to water is 1:4
-I'm going to add another day of form drawing to our week I think. He needs the will practice. Its also very good for kids on the Spectrum.
-I need to look into a ballet class for all three kids. (Though I'd prefer a Eurythmy class)
-GFCF chocolate chips are hard to find.
-I'm really not looking forward to going GFCF
-Its okay to still use bribery (Ike's fave currency is M&M's) its one of the only way to train kids on the Spectrum (and yes, its very much like dog training)
-Ike's counselor thinks the report is much more pessimistic than reality. Which is actually a bonus as it will make it easier for him to get services.
-Getting Ike services for his Autism will make getting the diagnosis from Kaiser seem like a cakewalk.
