Never a dull moment!

Today I had to go to Matthew's school for his yearly IEP meeting.  I always enjoy them because I love hearing how Matthew is doing and things he is improving on or things we need to work on more.  The staff there are all so good to him and work so well with them.  His teacher showed me some pictures of him giving hugs to people.  Like I mentioned in the last post, Matthew is a very loving little boy.  He loves to hug!  Anyways, back to the IEP meeting.  So his teacher told me a hilarious story on Matthew today!!  🤣  Matthew gets time on the iPad as a reward at school.  One day, his teacher gave him one of the tablets to use.  A short while later, she checked her online banking and noticed some purchases from Amazon.  Several of them.  She refreshed the page and even more purchases for Amazon showed up.  So she had to call and see what was going on.  Turns out someone had purchased over $200.00 worth of cartoons.  When she found out the cartoons, well needless to say she knew what had happened.  The cartoons were like, Finding Nemo, Carebears, all cartoons that my little man happens to love.  For those of you who don't know Matthew personally, well the kid is ridiculously smart.  He can work a tablet better than anyone.  So, Matthew racked up $200.00 in cartoons to his teacher!!!!  🤣🤣  Of course they fixed it and his teacher and everyone else has got a total kick out of it.  Leave it to my child!!!  I have laughed on and off all day over this.  We are definitely blessed with such great teachers, aides, and staff that work with Matthew daily.  And the kids!! Omg!!!  Sadly, I can remember when I was a little girl, how other children were cruel to the children with special needs.  They would laugh at them.  I know a lot of people are the way they are because they don't understand.  But I was terrified when Matthew started school.  Mind you, we had some issues when he was in elementary school.  But it wasn't because of kids.  But that is a story for another day.  But since he has been in high school, wow, everyone seems just crazy about Matthew.  We will be in wal-mart and I will hear someone yell "hey Matthew"! It will be other students from school.  Just makes my heart so happy.  There isn't anyone who meets this kid that doesn't fall in love with him.  So I just want to give a huge thank you to all his teachers, staff, and all his little friends who treat him so well at school.  It puts this mommy's mind at ease knowing he is cared for and that he enjoys school so much!
