Am having a bit of a respite week here: DS8 is away on his long expected five day trip with the grandparents to see the sights of the capital - he's been before, and loved it, but the priority has always been his little brother in the hospital. This time it's a sheer pleasure trip, and all about him, the perfect two adults to one DS8 ratio, and from what he sounds like of the phone, he's in heaven. and DD and DS2, most of the time best of friends, are enjoying their twosomeness without DS8 constantly picking fights with DD. ("Stop looking at me! Look! She's looking at me funny!").
We will soon travel to the mountains and do some hiking and swimming and then there is the rock climbing class at the end of summer. I hope DS8s relaxation will carry over for a bit. In the mountains, we hope to spend some time with an old friend from school who is vacationing near our place and whose kids, the few times ours have met them appear to be a good fit (another little engineer!).
Found out that most mountain family rehab centers have no provision for disabled kids, those are almost exclusively on the seaside. But they must organize teaching for school age kids every day, ugh! I think a nation can carry mandatory schooling laws too far...
