OK! So, the Weebly website system has lost its mind. It won't let me add the photos I want to and there's nobody at the company to help. I hope to have this fixed this week...ugh. Didn't I tell you that technology hates me???
Anyway, we'll cope. It's the info that's the star of the show here on the Show Notes!!

Whataburger debuted their Christmas sweater and it's a beauty. This is said with the perspective that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It think it's a beauty for an ugly Christmas sweater party, but that's just me.
Here it is!

A California Mom (caps intended!) decided to put snarky, but funny, notes on the outside of her high-school daughter's lunch bags. As it turns out, they were a big hit with her friends and now, other Mommas want to buy them!
They are hilarious! Check 'em out here.

Now is the time to start converting all of those old home movies and photos into a digital format. It sounds to me like a great gift to someone you love! I saw an article in the AAA magazine and thought the resources were solid.
They recommended the following resources:
Legacy Box
Kodak Scanza
Photomyne (it's an app)
Once you've digitized your photos, you can upload them with apps such as Shutterfly and Google photos and make your own albums.
The article recommended updating your digital archives every 10 years as technology evolves.

Here's the link to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's information on Acute Flaccid Myelitis (AFM) which is a polio-like illness striking mostly kids, but now, it appears to be spreading into the adult population.
Educate yourselves so you and your kids can stay healthy.
This is a super scary disease with lasting effects. Hospitalizations, when they are necessary, are months'-long.

A Momma called in about her son who has webbed toes and "edge-to-edge" struggles with academics, social interactions and is generally, very immature. He is not benefiting from special education.
My concern is that he's experiencing a genetic disorder. When I would see clients with widespread, debilitating intellectual, language, processing, executive functioning, social as well as adaptive benefits (not making the progress expected for age in terms of self-care, etc.) my first thought was a genetic condition is in play.
All of the clients I referred for genetic testing ended up with a diagnosis of a genetic disorder, but usually not one with which parents might have been familiar such as Down or Fragile X Syndrome.
Yes, there's nothing that can be done about a genetic disorder in terms of prevention, but the expectations and treatment recommendations will need to reflect that the child is likely to need extensive amounts of time to make marginal/noticeable progress.
This child, in particular, needs a comprehensive assessment with a psychologist who has experience with academic and developmental issues. He would benefit from an occupational therapy assessment and likely, treatment.
I referred Mom to these three resources:
Special Education Assessments
Challenging a district for special education services
Council of Parent Attorneys and Advocates, Inc.
