Dear Cindy and all

Congratulations Cindy!!this is the confirmation, again, of the intelligence
of our children.

When Elena was 8 years old we were in the house of the beach and my
father-in-law went with her for a walk, my father-in-law is an old man and
it was his first time with us in our house of the beach, when they came back
home from their walk he was confused, he couldn't find the way and he told
me that Elena was who indicated him the way.

Kisses

Asunto: Bobby's way home....


>Hi Everyone & Happy New Year !
> I just have to share this info with all of you...My mom took Andrew
>downtown for the day to see all of the windows on State Street, so Bobby &
I
>were able to have a day alone. I took him for a badly needed haircut, and
>then we hit the stores for some mega shopping. Of course, shopping is NOT a
>favorite of Bob's- so I had to verbally prompt him the whole time- bribing
him
>with McDonald's.... Needless to say, we shopped til we dropped, he had his
>McDonald's- a cheeseburger, fries, and a 4 piece
> Mc Nuggets. On the way home in the car when we were already inside our
>subdivision (which is very confusing with twisting & turning streets) he
>started pointing the way in. He pointed to the right, and kinda grunted,
then
>on the next block I said to him, "Which way?". Then he pointed right. (he
was
>correct) then the last turn, thinking he was just guessing lucky, I asked
him
>again- and he pointed to the left. I couldn't believe it- I know he
recognizes
>the way to Mc Donald's, the way to grandmas etc, but I never thought he
could
>tell me how to get home ! I'll tell you, I always tell people that my son
>isn't stupid- and I know that MR is part of this syndrome, but these kids
are
>clever.... When Bobby needed an Indian name for a project at school, his
>teachers named him Lil Fox, how appropriate!
