he's a 10

Yesterday my son Leo skipped from reading level 8 to level 10. This feels great to me. After watching him struggle with reading last year before his attention defecit hyperactivity disorder was diagnosed, I am happy to see each advance in reading. His reward is dinner out for the family this weekend. I don't like to use food as a reward, but his meds decrease his appetite, and he likes to eat out. Unfortunately, his favorite Mexican restaurant closed a few months ago. With his severe peanut allergy, many restaurants are off limits. There is one Chinese restaurant that seems safe, but we always bring an Epi-pen when we go out.
