He was thinking about things that happened three years ago and was crying about it like it just happened. Never know what to expect from day to day sometimes. I think it could be because he came home early this morning from his dad's house, was off yesterday from school for the holiday, he said he was knocked down in line at school today and got hurt. Ugh! So he is taking a well deserved break before we tackle the homework!

Very interesting observation. My 5 y.o. daughter will often talk about things that happened several days to several months ago as if they happened today. We adopted her 2.5 years ago, and she has never mentioned her birth mother. Then the other day she said, "Can you sing me the song about the bird?" I explained I wasn't sure what song she meant, but maybe I would know if she told me who sings it to her (day care, teacher at school, etc.). She said, "the girl whose tummy I came out of." I nearly died on the spot! I don't know if this is related to the SPD and the short-circuits in the neuro system or just normal 5 y.o. behavior.
