Home Decorating

Thought I'd share a little of my home decorating and updates with you.

Updating for Spring and adding my touches to the house.  It's been a slow process but it's coming along.
Please ignore the clothes on the coffee table waiting to be put away.  These are the Spring curtains.  The Fall/Winter ones are the same reddish/wine color but solid.





Found this last week and I fell in LOVE with it.  When I brought it home it was like it was MADE for this spot over my front door.



And finally, these little gem for over the TV.

(Sorry for the sad, sad pictures.)




I decided to leave this as a permanent fixture on the front door.

Another Milestone Met!

Just past another milestone!  I noticed on his math facts that he has done very well on subtraction.  I also noticed the last 2 days he has written all of his numbers correctly - in the correct direction.  I asked him about it and if he did something different and he said - I just thought of it in my brain and all the numbers "point" this way (he pointed to the left). I said OH!  Great job buddy. So obviously something has "clicked" in his mind about the orientation of numbers. I'm so proud of him!!! In the eye therapy world this month he has to do right and left exercises.  The doctor explained it would help with orientation of his body in this world.  Not sure it was the exercises alone but something "clicked" for him over the past 2 weeks!!!

Blue Paper for "Blue"

Another interesting discovery yesterday with CJ's dyslexia and vision problems.  He still struggles to name letters when they are on a sheet of paper.  He can do the flash cards as long as the letters are black.  Magnetic letters in different colors bother his eyes so much he can't seem to even see the letters at times. He was given the same test twice yesterday - once on white paper and once on blue paper.  There was a night and day difference!  15 wrong on the white paper and 1 wrong on the blue.  Unbelievable! He described to his teacher and I that when he looks at the white paper for a period of time, small dots begin to appear next to the letters (in the white space).  He said the blue paper doesn't do that and he said, "I can see the letters on the blue paper".  We also told him to tell us if the letters needed to be bigger.  We have found that with his eye problems, the longer he looks at something the more tired he eyes get and the...

Another Revelation!

We were doing eye therapy tonight and I was asking CJ about how he sees words.  He said they get jumbled up when I look at them.  I said how do they jumble up?  he said they jumble up then look normal.  I said how fast?  He said you count and I'll tell you. I asked him if he could draw me a picture of what it looked like.  So he did.  And when we counted, it was 1-2 - jumbled.  1-2 normal.  1-2 normal  So we then tried it with his glasses on.  He said - no.  Clear.  Perfect.  Like they look on the paper.  I said are you sure?  We did several tests and each time he said they were jumbled or dots and each time we put the glasses on, the words were normal. Between each switch, I let his eyes rest for a few seconds.  Just to be sure we were giving them enough time to rest between glasses and no glasses.  I made him look at the same words on the pages as well. I tried the same test on hi...
