I feel for ya. My Ben, sweetest kid ever, was RED RED RED RED and I was seeing red with his teacher who was less than encouraging (and I AM a teacher so I have some perspective here-the tag system does not help and can definitely hurt). Ben cried frequently because of those sill tags. Then we got the ADHD diagnosis, something I was loath to get on board with because of the stigma that gets attached to it sometimes. But with low dose meds and some behavior therapy, he is a very happy ten year old who doesn't hate school anymore and has lots of friends.

Congrats on hubby's job. WTG on speaking gig. Got a quick story to tell you about eggs and kids. My 16 year old cousin who has some 'mental deficiencies' and his mom build their own bator and got 2 dozen eggs from me. They had 6 eggs hatch successfully and have reset it with another 2 doz. Now, in that household, they also have a 3 year old. He got one of my puppies at Christmas and therefore, I am his hero. When he saw the chicks coming out of the eggs, he was horrified. He declared that his eggs that he gets from the store for breakfast DO NOT HAVE BABIES INSIDE OF THEM, ONLY BONNIE'S EGGS DO, CAUSE SHE HAS BABY CHICKS AND PUPPIES AND EVERYTHING. Teaching kids about broodies and how it REALLY works would be a great thing.

When I was a kid (somewhere around 3 or 4) I woke up in bed with a puppy on my chest and another on the foot of my bed. I ran into my parents room yelling "I had puppies!!!" Turns out that our dog at the time, Duchess, started having her litter and was dropping pups all over the house. Instead of an Easter egg hunt we had to have a puppy hunt in the middle of the night. But I'm still teased about "having puppies".

B has ADHD Impulsive Type. We're starting him on a short acting medication on Saturday. Basically the medication is given in the morning and starts to leave his system around 8 hours later. We were told that we'll see a difference immediately in his behavior and that side effects for this medicine are minimal, that if he experiences any that they'll go away in about 2-3 weeks and are short lasting (only for about 15-30 minutes right after taking the med).

How is your keet with the broken leg?
I have a keet that got stepped on and it severely broke her one leg. It was barely hanging on. She had a lot of fight in her. I heated a pair of stainless scissors and in a quick cut, removed the leg. I banaged it. Today, she is known as Uno and she gets around fine on one leg. I do keep the stub wrapped in Vet wrap to provide some cushion on the end as she does use it to balance herself sometimes.
But she is doing great.
