Last Tuesday, it was time for SJ's after school speech. SJ was in a fairly good mood, but Bob was extremely crabby. My husband was out of town, so I had to take Bob with us to the appointment. He kept lobbying to stay at home by himself, but I don't feel that he is quite mature enough yet. We drove out to the speech therapy office with Bob complaining the whole way.
I walked SJ in and told Bob I had my fill of his complaints. I told him that they had been filed and would be reviewed at a later date. I drove to Subway (in a local Wal-Mart) and we went inside. I got Bob's normal order (ham and cheese on flatbread) and two cookies (chocolate chip for Bob and snicker doodle for SJ).
We then went to McDonald's to get SJ's usual dinner (two hamburgers with no pickles, medium fry and a small Hi-C orange). I also got Bob a medium fry. We drove back to the speech therapy office. Bob started to complain that we were 8 minutes early, but I cut him off. I told him to relax and eat his dinner.
SJ came out of the office about 5 minutes later. I asked his therapist how he did. She said he did very well. She said they mostly worked on the idioms. She said he got 19/28 correct. He had trouble with "blowing his own horn", "he's nuts about you" and "has a heart of gold". She said they will continue to work on them.
I asked her if she told him that my husband was out of town. He had. He told her he was in San Francisco and would not be back until last Friday.
When we got home, SJ had homework to do. I usually help him with language arts and my husband helps with math. SJ had been worried that he would have math to do while my husband was away. To his fruition, he had math homework that evening. Oh no! I am terrible with math. Fortunately, it was two very simple problems. Whew! What a relief!
