Goals 3 : KNOWLEDGE

I didn't realize how much I had to learn.  The vast scope of knowledge involved in parenting is overwhelming.  I have read so many books and tried so many different actions and added some real winners to my parenting tool box.  I have also gained a true appreciation for the uniqueness of each child.  I realize how well I've perfected the skills of dealing with my high energy, high intelligence, low sensitivity kid.  I'll never forget vacillating about showing him the video of a live elephant birth and deciding to pose the question to him.  Describing the basics, I asked if that sounded scary or interesting.  The top volume, top energy response was, "INTERESTING!"  (This is not the child to need gentle descriptions or pause more than a minute after crashing himself into a wall.)  I do have a great deal of knowledge about autism as well, but I see that as very much a side issue to my son's development.  His mind his bright and willing to learn and I love being his buddy in the process.

OK, so I'm going to delve into learning about how to do stuff like pictures and underlining and links and all those blog-based skills.  Here's to a new adventure in learning :)
