Hello again!



I no longer blog about parenting Nick. He is now a young adult and is unable to give his permission for me to share about our life together. 

I was recently asked to write an article for the Special Kids Online Newsletter.  You can find that article right here...

Finding Me

Hello





Are you still out there? I haven't blogged for so long that you have probably forgotten all about us. Such is life, I guess!

This RDI mother is still moving forward.......

Today, we made Hummus. I love the stuff, although have never made it before. A nice little challenge for me and also for Nick. Of course I had to invite my boy to join me, to which he did quite freely.

I wrote up the list of ingredients and went through them with Nick.

I collected all of the ingredients and measured them out.

Nick's challenge was to put the ingredients into the food processor when needed. Edge+1

He was a star, although wasn't keen to be involved when the food processor started to do its thing!

I am always very mindful of his Edge+1 and feelings of competence. I could see he had reached his limit and it was of no bother to me that he needed to leave. I am thrilled that he was happy to be with me and play a small part.

At the end of the day, the activity is only a *prop* for the interaction between us.

Now to see if he will taste it! :)
