-5 Today

We are waking up to a -5 degree day, without wind chill. It is only going to be a high of -5 today.

Which stinks because this is the second time we have schedule a meeting with the school to discuss Brandon. The first meeting was held last Friday but had to be cancelled because his teacher called in sick that day. It was also a really bad snow day too. But at least Don and I got to sit around and talk with the one on one teacher and the social worker. So now we have to reschedule AGAIN.

Howeer, we did get the psycologist eval to review for the next meeting and nothing on there surprised us in fact this is the best part. Under the header Testing Observation:

Brandon came with the examiner for testing on one occasion. He presented as friendly, cooperative, and talkative. Rapport was easily established and maintained throughout testing. At times, Brandon needed some re-direction, as his attention seemed to shift to items and objects around the examiner’s room. Brandon often was observed to talk while he worked. Overall, the results of testing appear to be valid for the purpose of addressing the reason for referral.

Brandon stated that he does not like school that much. Being that Brandon was tested around Thanksgiving, he was very eager to talk about how much he likes Turkey. He then proceeded to tell the examiner that he also likes eating macaroni and cheese. Brandon also told the examiner that he and his brother Josh “broke up.” He said that they do not like each other anymore.

I had to laugh because Brandon hates turkey and doesn't eat any meat, and the relationship with his brother is priceless.
