Of course, we did not stop learning -- Nic asks dozens, if not 100's of questions each day and we participated in our local library's summer reading program. Yes, our special boy is a reader! And yes, he is obsessive with his reading too.

| Gold belt test day! |
Throughout the summer, we focused on continuance of our strict dietary intervention with him and added karate to his schedule for the summer. Tomorrow is his last day, and I wish we could continue with karate. I could write an entire post about all of the emotions I felt (and still feel) just watching Nic participate in a sport without me, and be able to listen and follow instructions... just like other kids... well - without intervention or freaking out about some unknown something or other. I have walked on eggshells all summer, hoping he wouldn't have a meltdown. And he didn't. Not one meltdown at karate. Isn't that amazing? It is nothing short of a miracle.
I think it's partially because the situation is controlled by the owner, who is absolutely amazing with children. I'd rank him right up there near "the saints", if you will. Anyway... karate was a positive experience for us!
We will be starting our school year on Wednesday.
Will it be chaos?
I already know the answer.
Goodbye summer, hello chaos.
