Dear family and friends
Today we spent a busy day working around the house. Regina
and I tackled some major garage-organizing tasks as we prepared to donate some
stored items to a needy college student relative! Along the way we made some
improvements in organization and a purge of some items that had outlived their
usefulness.
Grayson was there with us all day. At one point while I was
on a ladder, Regina utilized Grayson to help her carry things around. He is strong
and can be helpful as long as he is able to maintain focus, and as long as the
tasks do not require recently acquired knowledge. Which brings me to my point
for the day – We all understand learning from our perspective. Once we learn a
skill, we can expect to be able to utilize that skill in the future. The same
can be expected from our children. This is not the case for Grayson. Any skill
that he manages to learn may need to be relearned again tomorrow. Further, if
tomorrow is a bad day, he may not even be able to accomplish the same things as
he was able to the day before.
You never know exactly what you are going to get when you
wake Grayson up in the morning. It is sort of like the Christmas present under
the tree waiting to be explored – every morning!
Pax!
Brant
