ADD at VBS

No one can tell me my oldest son doesn't have attention issues!

Last night at VBS families all came together for burgers before the final presentation by all of the kids. The different age groups took turns up on the stage singing songs and dancing (motions to the songs). G's group went up first and he did really well! He kept up with the group and the beat and just did a really great job! I was so proud of him!

Next was M's group. He is 7 1/2 years old and about to go into 2nd grade. He wasn't quite with the group or on the beat but he was doing the motions and singing. Then comes the part of the song where all of the kids squat down on the floor, all that is, except for M! He stands there staring up and waving his hand around almost like he's trying to grasp something. Dh and I are cracking up at this point, he is so like us! We both have many memories of being completely spaced out as kids (um, and sometimes as adults). Finally he realized that he was supposed to be squatting with the rest of the group, just a moment before it was time to stand up again! I'm sure this whole incident lasted less than a minute. It was a perfect illustration of how M is all the time. Later we asked him what he was doing, he said he was trying to catch the dust he could see in the spot lights. LOL, I figured.

We've added Flax oil to his diet recently, maybe that will help some. We've also just recently cut the sugar out of his diet (as much as we can anyway). I'm sure that will be good for all of us.
