Ah, the first day of school- mothers rejoice, kids....... not so much! As you can tell from the first picture we are pretty happy- then we leave the house and throw a little fit on the porch........... he wouldn't budge! After luring him to the car with a lollipop, all was well.
After we arrived at school he immediately covered his ears and handled the noises pretty well. He learned something new today- he spelled Lumberton after he arrived home today. His teacher said he did great at school today- no problems at all. Yeah Lucas!!!!!!!!! Mommy is so proud of him.
We have discovered recently that Lucas' amazing ability to read and write has a name- hyperlexia. Click here to read more information on hyperlexia: http://www.brighttots.com/Hyperlexia.html
Basically it is when children younger than 5 display the ability to read, spell and phonetically sound out words, even before they can talk. They often are autistic, but not always- but they overlap a lot in similarities. We believe Lucas does have PDD (Pervasive Developmental Disorder) with hyperlexia as well. It is a great skill to have and we are hoping that he will utilize this in the future to become a great success.
