I'm here. Matthew is doing school behind me. I am mulling over one of his friends from church. I told you about him and his mom, that homeschools? The kid is 7 years old and very bright...in the fourth grade. He and Matthew have been friends since he was 4. Anyway, this kid seems to be stuck at a 4 year old level. Matthew feels sad, because his friend is still acting like a (poorly behaved) baby and doesn't want anything to do with him. This kid wants to play with Joshua, only I won't let him because he's a big 7 year old and he towers over my 3 year old! He also tries to get Joshua to act up, because he knows he can't get Matthew to. This kid is just off the wall bizzare and Matthew doesn't understand why.

I just feel so bad for Matthew. This guy was at least on the same level as far as smarts go, but Matthew has left him behind as far as behavior goes. Matthew can have a decent conversation with anyone (spoke at length with Steve Largent about the Revolutionary war and Taxation without representation when he was five). This kid can't look you in the eye, much less sit still long enough to say something intelligiable. I don't know how his mom teaches him.

I'm very troubled...considering changing churches even.
