Attention Deficit

• Is easily distracted by extraneous stimuli.
• Has difficulty sustaining attention to tasks.
• Often fails to give close attention to details or makes careless mistakes in schoolwork, work, or other activities.

Case Study:
Four-year-old boy is so preoccupied by talking about tornadoes that he puts his pajama pants on over his head. Does not notice his mistake for well over 45 seconds. (We got the camera as quick as we could, but we missed the part where he had arm A in one pant leg, his head in the other leg, and he couldn't figure out where to put arm B, sorry folks . . . fortunately this last part is pretty cute too). Enjoy.

Family Visit

We had a house (apartment, actually) full of visitors this weekend, and it was a blast. It was a short stay, but we had a great time. We caught a movie, played a round of golf, had some heated board game competitions, and took a nature walk at a local park. Oh yeah, and we got Aunt Eileen a hot new wig! We were sad to see everybody head home, and we hope there will be another visit soon.

A Little Experimentation

Lillian has been experimenting with some new looks lately. Hopefully this one won't catch on with the middle school kids. . .
