Summer

Many people believe that summer vacation is a time of fun and joy for their kids. Not mine.
Not that Ryan doesn't enjoy summer, he loves being outside and playing. What doesn't seem to agree with Ryan is the lack of schedule. He is overly moody, he's lost interest in doing certain things, he's not eating as well...I completely attribute this to not having the regimented schedule of school. During the school year, its up at 6:45, eat breakfast, get on the bus, go to school, get back on the bus, come home, go to therapy, play, watch a little TV or do other activity, eat supper, take a bath, go to bed. EVERY day. He thrives on this type of schedule. The school told me this year he didn't need to attend the summer school program because he was functioning so well in his classroom. But based on this year's reaction to lack of schedule, I'm going to request that he attend the summer program next year.
