[Ok, so it has been way too long since my last post. It is nearing the end of the semester, and its crunch time to write papers--which isn't easy with an infant in the house!]
So earlier this week, we received a package in the mail addressed to Emerson. We're not exactly sure where it came from, but it included a survey that is supposed to be a "Behavior and Symptom Identification Scale." Now, obviously, whoever sent this thing obviously didn't know that Emerson not only is too young to read a survey, he's can't even cognitively contemplate on this level.
Nevertheless, I had a hilarious time giving him the survey and asking him to answer the questions. He couldn't really check the appropriate boxes [each question had five possible answers, essentially using terms like "none/never," "a little/rarely," "moderate/sometimes," "quite a bit/most/often," "all/extreme/always"], so I had to settle for his nonverbal communication. Here are some of the results:
During the past week, how much difficulty did you have...[#2] Coping with problems in your life?
... [#3] Concentrating?
During the past week, how much of the time did you...[#5] Get along with people outside your family?
... [#6] Get along well in social situations?
During the past week, how much of the time did you... [#9] Feel confident in yourself?
... [#10] Feel sad or depressed? 
During the past week, how often did you... [#14] Think you had special powers?
... [#16] Think people were watching you? 
...[#18] Have mood swings?
... [#19] Feel short tempered?
During the past week how often did you ... [#21] Have an urge to drink alcohol or take street drugs?
... [#23] Try to hid your drinking or drug use?

Brock this is hilarious!!! What the heck kind of survey was that?!?
Cute kiddo, Brock. Looks a lot like you! Hope you and Amber are fairing well in Pittsburgh and school is, well, in a word transformative. I'm glad you have this blog and actively comment on books and other blogs. I've read some of your thoughts this a.m. Busyness of our growing season has slowed down a bit. And with Mary Beth near to my mind, I've been thinking of you too...remembering specifically your beginnings at C.Pk., talks through "Search to Belong", and the evening of our house sale.
I'm eager to stay in touch as you stay on the cutting edge of academia. Thanks for sharing yourself here.
In the Peace of Christ,
