Parents, you’ve got questions, we’ve got answers.

Or just as likely, we’ve got questions and you’ve got answers.

And if THAT isn’t enough, Archie is a special needs kid.If you met him, you would instantly fall in love with him because of his cute personality, creativity and innocence.But, Archie is having trouble with reading.No one is really sure whether there is anything physically wrong with him or if it is because he is just young and immature.

The best way to handle him has just been to have him in time-out.That is easier said than done when Hurricane Archie, Archie-osaurus, Archie the King, has started on one of his rampages.He requires constant supervision, if for nothing else, to protect him (and Morty).He also requires constant supervision on the infinite amount of homework he has to do nightly.The good news is that Archie is progressing in his reading and, for what it’s worth, his behavior is better than it was. Maybe he is maturing?

The bad news is that Archie is a physical and emotional drain for SMM and Daddy.We love him dearly.Morty is a physical and emotional drain, too.Like a classic co-dependent, he follows and imitates everything that Archie does.We love him dearly, too.Morty is at the top of his class in reading, but he lacks focus and motivation.But then again, don’t we all?

Physically, Archie can outrun the wind.He is so fast and so quick, I have officially given up catching him.Morty, on the other hand, does not have Archie’s quickness, but he is no slouch to running himself.It is Morty who has progressed the most in Tae Kwon Do.Ironically, it is because of his focus and attention.Go figure?
