[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 207304, member: 1991"] OK, I'm going to have to skip the individual greetings. Sorry, folks, but it's almost Thursday here on a busy day. difficult child 3 got a warning letter from one of his teachers - an assessment task not done, we did know about it but as it involves an essay which he's been struggling with, and I HAVE been talking to the school about the problem - hey, we do the best we can. I got difficult child 3 to the GP this afternoon to get a referral to a new specialist, a psychiatrist who specialises in autism. We got the contact through the research project we got involved in. And speaking of that research project - two weeks ago we were there for the first session and in the waiting room a girl came up to speak to difficult child 3, she seemed to be practising her social skills on someone. They spoke for about 2 minutes, mostly tis girl talking to difficult child 3. Then she came back and asked him for his contact details for her diary. difficult child 3 told her - honestly, he'd divulge his bank account details! And today he received a party invitation, we think it's from her (I can't remember her name, we only got her first name anyway). But it's to a 21st! From a girl we spoke to for 2 minutes, who lives on the other side of town, whose family we just don't know at all! difficult child 3 was thinking that she wanted to be his girlfriend - which worries me, if he thinks it works like that. I told him I don't think we should let him go, we just don't know them and it would be very awkward. The girl was VERY difficult child. I had to go back to my rheumatologist to get the radiology request form fixed up and I had to park around the corner. As I walked from the car I realised - we were right outside the childcare centre where easy child 2/difficult child 2 is doing her current prac. I had arranged for her to meet up with us to collect some face paint gear, it was all in my car - what better opportunity than to get it to her immediately? So I went over and rang the bell. Inside, easy child 2/difficult child 2 was reading a story to the children. The doorbell went, and one child said, "That's probably my mummy." easy child 2/difficult child 2 said, "Maybe not. It could be MY mummy instead," not expecting it to be, of course. She was very glad to be saved the trip to meet up with us later. At drama class later, difficult child 3 got an invitation to a Halloween party on Friday night. I think we'll go. He won't want to dress up, of course, but I might be able to persuade him to let me draw a 'scar' on his forehead so he can go as Harry Potter. Seriously, that is all he needs! Besides, easy child 2/difficult child 2 has all the face paint... Oh, and we got told today - "The Black Balloon" has got ELEVEN nominations for AFI (Australian Film Industry) awards including Best Actor for Rhys Wakefield, Best Supporting Actress for Toni Collette, Best Supporting Actor for Luke Ford (currently in "Mummy III"), Best Film, Best Screenplay...
