oh, also, if you give her written instructions, she seems to be fine. even last night, when I had herr write this paper, I had to write down the things I wanted her to address...

now, for myself, I am amazing at taking in auditory info. I can follow several conversations at the same time (like at a party), I like to have the TV on all the time and people often let things slip out because they think I'm not listening, but I could repeat, almost word for word what they said.

Butter is NOT like this and I think it's not just because she is 8. At home, when we are doing schoolwork, she can't even have music in the background. She likes absolute quiet. And you can't leave the TV on if you want her to pick up the room or something...


I get excited when the library lets me know my books are ready for pickup...
