Jeff suggested I keep notes on the day as it progresses, so here it goes. Jake made an attempt to make breakfast this morning, didn't turn out too well, but he made an attempt. He does very well with bacon and eggs, but not so well with cream of wheat. He went out of his way to help out with chores this morning. One of the difficulties Jake has is doing "other things" instead of doing the basics that need to be done each day (perhaps he gets bored with reality, I understand that). He also helped his sister clear off our dining room table. This was a big deal for me...it is the first time in five plus years that my dining room table hasn't been "set". I'm thinking I need to give it up so we can have more room for daily class work.
Jake helped Jude with her school work.
Jake left Jude to her work on her own which he was asked specifically not to do as she is working on the correct form of writing skills.
Jake worked on his bible work this morning for karate, of his own accord, that's great.
Jake decided that in addition to the lunch that was made for him and all the snacks he is allowed that he would eat my food as well. I did not have lunch today.
It's almost four and Jake hasn't done any school work today.
Jake took meat from the fridge, sat down on the "no kids allowed" sofa and left a hunk of it for someone else to clean up.
Jake continued to irritate his siblings while they were trying to do their school work.
Jake offered to help Jeremiah find his "once again" lost school book.
Jake worked on his poster for describing a word class and even though this first attempt was not according to concept, (He described a specific word instead of a word class) he is indeed very brillaint at drawing comic heroes.
The house was not destroyed when I got home tonight.
Jake understands the concept of describing a word class through visuals.
Jake tells me that he did a lot of language:the twenty something page in language today.
Jake set the kids down with a movie while I was out and Jake played with the kids while I was gone.

Wow...I expected a lot more negatives! Great job Jake.
Ahhemmm...you left your light on all night long! I shut it off this morning. This is becoming a habit with you. I'm going to kick your butt if you keep it up! Or better yet, I'll get rid of your light bulbs and then it wont be an issue.
