Fun things
My class this evening was cancelled. This probably means that the presentation I had to do on Tuesday is now to be done on Thursday. *breathes sigh of relief*
Sean's vision therapist sent home something about a sleep study they're doing at one of the local med colleges with blind kids. Apparently there is some basis in fact for blind people to experience 'sleep drift' - you know, like Sean does oh, all the damn time, where he occasionally tries to go to sleep later and later and later and then his parents want to sell him by the pound on eBay ..? Something about the pineal gland and regulation by sunlight due to decreased light perception. And they've had some success with treating this using melatonin. So this is part of a study to chart the sleep drift and possibly also use the melatonin. Either way it sounds awesome and they may just keep him at the sleep center for a night or two, enabling myself and Chris to have a nice night with no boy. I am stoked. I'm calling them in the morning. I hope they take him, because that would just be neat. <sciencegeek>
Other things in Seaners' bag today: Mother's day 'card' (purple construction paper flower with picture), very cute little orange construction paper crown hat, paper bag puppet.
And whoever it was (I think it was![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
reannon) who told me to read 'On Writing' by Stephen King? THANK YOU. It's excellent.
