I DID IT!!!! :) Tonight, I achieved my red belt in Tae Kwon Do. I broke three one-inch boards (and got in trouble for it. Ooops), sparred three black belts separately and then fought all three of them as a group. I flubbed my fifth form by forgetting the second half, but otherwise did pretty good ( Read more... )

Jeezo-pete with Matthew! It sounds so similar to what I went through with Jess. Can I ask what the problem is with him? I know you're dealing with something and it's big and you're doing a helluva good job. I've just never known the exactness of it all.

ADHD and he's on the autism spectrum. Depending on what doctor you talk to it's either PDD:NOS or Aspergers. He's smart as a whip, just in his own world and sometimes not able to properly deal with his frustration.

Yeah - crap. That's way too familiar. Sounds like you've got some real support, though, with the teachers and all. With stress like that, it's good thing you've got the TKD as an outlet.

His issues sound so much like my oldest son's that it's eerie. He was eventually diagnosed with Aspergers and ADHD (those are the final ones we've all agreed on, he's had a few different ones over the years).

Always here if you want to talk. And I'm certainly willing to share the various programs that have worked for him. He's now 15, and functioning completely 'normal' whatever that is.

his meltdown? I've seen before. many, many times. *exactly* what my son used to do.

Congratulations!!!! That is so cool. You've worked so hard for this and it's a real tickle seeing it come to pass.

(had to put my two comments in separate posts)

Congrats on earning your red belt!

So sorry about Matthew's (and your) bad week! :(

I LOVE your icon! :) *swipe*

Yay you red belt you!

You so impress me. Maybe I can get all involved once I'm done with the baby-making and the kids are a bit older.

It's a LOT of fun. You don't realize you are getting such a good workout. Well, until you can barely move you are so sore the next day *laugh*

How many of those Wilson spawn are you guys going to make? ;) As fast as he seems to be growing, Dunked in Gravy may be able to do TKD with you.
