thank you's teacher is doing conferences early. She is expecting a new grandbaby about the time conferences are.
He is still top of his class. She wanted him to show me a new pencil grip. He did NOT want to take everything out of his desk. We pushed, and he did. Then he was putting things in a brown paper bag. Got me curious, he did.
He ran off, curled up on the floor, crying after pulling the bag away from me. I let him go, but told him he had to let me see it.
He was afraid that he was not supposed to have pokemon books at school. When he first started with the cards, and with reading the various books, I told him that if it became a problem at school or ALL he was doing (to the exclusion of other books, kids, schoolwork) that we would have to talk. He knows, however, that I got rid of all the pokemon a long time ago because difficult child was so obsessed.
He had the biggest look of relief on his face when he realized I had NO intention of taking his pokemon away. He had 2 books in his desk that were pokemon - and he was so scared he would be in trouble, that I would take the few things he has that are pokemon.
The teacher was floored - she had NEVER seen anything like that out of thank you. I gave thank you the books and let him keep the pokemon valentines I MADE for him to give out in his desk. They are a good size for bookmarks.
Then I sent thank you and Jess into the hall. I explained the obsession with pokemon, and the violence that we had with difficult child. She has had several aspies in the last few years, so she understood right away the level the obsession can be.
I was amazed that he thought he would get into so much trouble. Makes me wonder what difficult child has told him, now that I think about it.
I am going to have to call difficult child, see what he has said to thank you.
Or it could just be thank you.
