Joey had a great day Friday after all the emotion of the Thursday.  Both his teachers said he had a good day - and that he made the maths teacher happy!  Which, given that he almost has a phobia over maths, is quite something.  He was also asked, again, to come up and show the other kids how to do proper press-ups. At home he read 3 books.  He still needs some help and the standard is still well below what a non-dyslexic child would manage.  But it is a vast improvement, both in what he can do and his attitude.

Then he had a really good swim lesson and one of his wee friends from school, Bruce, came over with younger brother and parents.  They had a great time.

As did we with Lorna and Bruce senior.  She is great, and we had a blast, and did some damage to our new wine bill!   What is really helpful is to talk with other parents of dyslexic kids as they understand in a way that others cannot.
