The Farm
Mikey gets a variety of vocational opportunities at school. One of his favorites was a trip to a local farm. He was expected to do some trail clearing, which, to be honest, did not really happen. He didn’t like touching anything without the gloves and he didn’t like the gloves. That said, he loved seeing the llamas and the chickens. He’s an animal-lover through and through!
I’m happy for him that he had a fun day out and I will keep working on ways to increase his attention span for less highly favored tasks (AKA work). LOL!
