AWESOME!! Congrats!

And wow, re the shoveling. DS is now a teen and still can't get the mechanical flow of how to shovel.

That is excellent! I also liked that your neighbor asked for his help. That is such a powerful way for him to build his own sense of competence.

Thanks for sharing!

Today a neighbor asked us whether our oldest could shovel his sidewalk, for a small sum.
DS is 12, but he's a tactile avoider, has significant executive function as well as coordination and motor issues, so none of us had thought of him shoveling anyone else's sidewalk apart from ours, and in years past, he's done a very poor job of it! We always had to do another shoveling after him.
And today he did it. The sidewalk look pristine.

At Christmas he also helped load, unload and carry the tree. OK, he dropped his end of it once, but overall it was a great effort.

It's so heartwarming to see him become better at these hands-on things!
He still holds a kitchen knife with the tip of his fingers and his arm completely extended, so carving meat will have to wait...
