Halloween Haters Unite!

[Georgie]

Don't tempt me. ALTHOUGH, I have to admit that the kids are really cute and have such a good time. It's keeping them in control up until party time that's tough. Last year I taught an adorable boy named Kevin, who has Asberger's syndrome. Kevin and I share a special bond. Each year, Halloween is too scary and too out-of-routine for Kevin to deal with, so he just stays home. Last week I happened to see his class in the computer lab and asked him about Halloween. He said he would be staying home. I asked, if his teacher allowed it, he would like to walk in the parade with me. I was shocked when he said "yes" and actually came through today! He's ten years old and today is the first time he's ever experienced Halloween. Being with him, and knowing how far he's come, just made my day. [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img]
