There is a certain rhythm, predictability, tonal appeal in those declensions isn't there? :-) Charlie’s chiming in with your podcast doesn’t surprise me since we already know how musically-inclined he is.

I can focus on more if I choose, but if I'm on my own, or am with people that I don't have to look after, then it's all too easy to "drift off". I suppose it all depends on the individual. Tom's language and understanding difficulties and yes, he does have those, makes it hard to pick up exactly how much he understands, but what I love is his perspective on things, what he considers important in his day. For example the photographer came into his school today. Tom raced up to me and shouted gleefully: "I went up da STAIRS!" :D. Harold, would you care to elaborate?

You do a wonderful job anticipating and accommodating the various transitions in your son's life. Academics, exercise, FOOD, music, fun...great to land on each one and hard to move between them.
