Puppet Show

Well Brooklyn and I have been hitting the town. He selected not to go to summer camp. Right now he is at work with his dad. Puppet show was at NW Library with a make your own puppet post show all promoting recycling. He is entering a photo contest next door. Practiced letters and soccer. Tonight a baseball game tomorrow a play where Olivia's dad stars in the Odd Couple. Hope to see the bell ringing in Fireman's park on Friday. Brooklyn agreed to watch his brother at the Summer Music concerts, as a hired babysitter. I hope this helps him allow me to talk to adults he does not like it when I talk to people in person or on the phone. Reading a chapter from the Dawn Treader every night. He still loves his gerbils and is getting into Lego following directions and starting sets on his own. The later bedtime was used to watch a movie without Berkeley this week National Treasure which was on TV. In the future I think DVDs would be better shorter time without all the ads.

OT

My brother wrote this: "Occupational theorpy works well because it works more holistically with
the mind, body, and emotions. However, this seems almost accidental and not
really conscious." I think it is funny but I was thinking OT helps because kids lack freedom to explore. Brooklyn needs to think growing up is worth it. He needs to think he has more freedoms than his brother but in our society there are no places for him in a city to explore. I let him go alone to the cupcake place. He seemed to like it I wish I could let him go alone to our park two blocks away. He is street smart. An does not engage adults.

Brooklyn rocked with his brother for me yesterday and I hope he has a fun week with his dad.

Culture and Cutting school

So we let Brooklyn skip out on school again this year to go to the rose festival his IEP is this week too, yuk.
The night before we went out on the rides he went to a play that Ben was in with Olivia and Mike.

Moliere's THE IMAGINARY INVALID
In a New Translation by Constance Congdon

I think he liked it. He has been into a video called the story of stuff online as well. Last week of school.
Was not as into the rides as last year. Went back to school for his last photography class. He did really well and enjoyed it too bad they shut down the SUN School. :(
