Irisheyes - that is kind of funny. I'm waiting to wake up from this "dream".

I will say the hardest thing is that DS worries about what the other kids think and say, etc. He doesn't understand why a boy at a beach with his shirt off would be funny (because it's obviously what you find, and he's just being descriptive), so he takes it personally if he puts a shirtless boy on a beach in a story he writes and the other kids laugh. I'm really hoping the Target class will help him engage with kids a lot closer to his level in that regard.

His self-esteem is what I worry about most these days.
