An Oscar update

Oscar got a progress report from his school back in January. He likes practicing life skills like zippers and buttons, he has made many friends, and he doesn't listen to adults. No surprises there! He got "needs improvement" for listening and for accepting consequences.

We visited his school a few weeks ago for an observation. It was weird and cultish! The room was so quiet. We were expected to sit and watch and not interact with anyone, and after half an hour we just got up and left! That was all! Later his teacher emailed us to see if we had any questions, and we had none except is Oscar always like that? And of course he isn't. But boy was he excited to see us! We could not possibly be impartial observers when Oscar was asking us to look at his drawing all the time.

We also have a lot more pictures of him at work:

This week is spring break. The head of the school keeps saying helpful things like "enjoy this time off with your kids!" "I hope your family can do something fun during spring break!" But Oscar will be joining John at Becky's, and Eric and I will go to work, same as always.

On a brighter note, the giant crocuses are blooming in the front yard, and when I pulled the leaves out of the gardens today I found so many secret guys about to bloom (and safe from the rabbits!). I hope this doesn't mean a freeze is imminent, now that they're all uncovered.
