More about Ocean: he amazes me with his insight, empathy, humor, intelligence and energy. I've had many a jaw dropping moment. Like, at 4 he asked, "If it takes 2 people to make 1 person where did the first two people come from?" Also at four he could not only add and subtract but do simple multiplication, now he reads books meant for children 2 years older than him. I'm so proud of these things but what takes the cake is that he's so well liked by other kids, teaches, and parents. He's funny and likable and smart! But honestly because of all his strong attributes he is a very difficult child to parent and teach. He is prone to big mood swings and intense emotion and of course...BORDOM! He's been labeled ADHD by his daycare, then his preschool, then his kindergarden! I won't medicate him...he may be ADHD but I'm not shutting off this kid unless he starts failing academically or socially, for now he's just a lot of work...but it's so worth it!!!!
