Asher Update

It's time for a quite unusual Asher update:

I think someone flipped a switch on Asher or gave us a different kid who looks like Asher. This kid has more energy then he - and we - know what to do with. Physically, he's doing things with ease that he found impossible to do - ever. For example, Asher has physical therapy homework. Among the routine of things he is supposed to do, he is supposed to do ten sit-ups with knees bent and hands behind the head. We've been helping Asher do these sit-ups for nearly a year now. He needs a pillow for support and we have to use our hands to help him do the sit-up. Yet today he did those ten sit-ups by himself - no help at all - with ease. Huh???

The kid has SO MUCH energy - he's literally jumping all over the place. Poor kid is getting into quite a bit of trouble. I know what's going on, but it's still not OK to punch your brother in the stomach.

It's so nice to have this kind of problem.
