Zora, stir crazy.
Zora has requested that Opa come up here to move the snow so we can go to the store. LMAO. (he runs the grader/snowplow for their township, an hour away)

This semester, on Wednesday, my mom comes up to Speech Therapy to pick Zora up during Zane’s Friendship group and spends the day with her. This time we are switching things up. She is going to have a day with Zane instead. He wants to go the Kansas Cosmosphere in Hutchinson and to “Subway, Eat Fresh”. Zach got off work to go with Zora and I to tour different magnet schools.
By the end of the day, we think Earhart will make the top of the list, with Hyde a close second, and Buckner (the closest one) as our third choice. We liked all the schools we went to, but those seemed to be the best fit for Zora’s personality.

Set her up with an easel, and this is what she does. Don’t get the beaver kite, but it did make me smile.
Eilysh gave Zora the Cabbage Patch Touching Tunes Kids game for her Birthday. It was a vintage game they had found at a second hand store. There were a bunch of different games with the one system, and it featured a thing where you had to each touch a spot on the playing field, and touch the other person for the tune to play. Zora loved it. (not a game I want to play a lot, but she loved it, and that is what is important). It was a cute game, good for the preschool set. This one kept getting stuck on the “Happy Birthday” song, which delighted Zora, but made the grown-ups want to use a hammer on the thing after a while. lol.
a picture I found of the whole thing online:

Swimming across an area over her head. Go girl!
Gymnastics Again. He is in a class by himself, literally. Next week there will be another kid, but she moved to another class when we chose to take a break in December. He lasted 45 minutes, which is pretty good considering how intense it is when it is one on one.

Autism is a continuum from genius to extremely handicapped. If you got rid of all the autism genetics, you’d get rid of scientists, musicians, mathematicians. Some guy with high-functioning Asperger’s developed the first stone spear; it wasn’t developed by the social ones yakking around the campfire. The problem is, you talk to parents with a low-functioning kid, who’ve got a teenager who still goes to the bathroom in his pants and who’s biting himself all the time. This guy destroys the house, and he’s not typing, no matter what keyboards you make available. His life is miserable. It would be nice if you could prevent the most severe forms of nonverbal autism.”
