Summer fun a distant memory

It's incredible how fast time flies. Summer 2009 is already over and we are back to school after just two more "sleeps". We had a fun game over dinner earlier today trying to recall the things we did over the past summer. Together we collected a collage of remembered moments enjoying bits of the memories left of our experiences in our minds. It was a hard exercise for my son because his disability rarely allows him to recall important facets of events, where they took place, how did they happen and when. He grasps at incidents he thought were funny and attempts to share the memory, his face brimming with pleasure at the thought but words failing to come out of his mouth in a coherent way. One can almost catch the moment the thought enters his mind and that he is still thinking about it a long while after the conversation was over. I can just imagine the way he will tell the tale of his summer fun when he is called to share it with his teacher and classmates on Tuesday when he returns to school. He will do so with generous smattering of giggles throughout, guaranteed.
