I love that movie. If you google the young actress who starred in the movie, it shows just one film, just one role. She was fantastic! Then you wonder why she only did ONE movie....there are no other links, or other websites that talk about her...absolutely nothing. And in these days and ages, you can practically find out about anyone, anywhere, anywhooo.
Then I sort of wondered about my one-hit son
and my own situation with Brandon, who seems to lose interest in any adventure, or activity, or class session, etc. very quickly. Some teachers have hinted an A.D.H.D. disorder, and I hate to admit it but Brandon fits every symptom....

I. Either A or B:
Six or more of the following symptoms of inattention have been present for at least 6 months to a point that is disruptive and inappropriate for developmental level:

Often does not follow instructions and fails to finish schoolwork, chores, or duties in the workplace (not due to oppositional behavior or failure to understand instructions).
Often has trouble organizing activities.
Often avoids, dislikes, or doesn't want to do things that take a lot of mental effort for a long period of time (such as schoolwork or homework).

Often talks excessively.
Impulsivity
Often blurts out answers before questions have been finished.
Often has trouble waiting one's turn.
Often interrupts or intrudes on others (e.g., butts into conversations or games).
His Daddy and I know he has problems at school, whether it be in French or English, he seems to be confused and disorientated, and distracted, and out of sorts...like stardust that tries to find the lillies, yet land instead in a field of wheat in Saskatchewan or a corn field in Alberta. Such a waste of stardust.
I promised I would write more about Brandon, mostly because he has my blog linked as "one of his favorites".....and he reads it constantly, probably more for my "Family Guy" video clips.
Today, he wants to be a magician. So we allow it. Because he laughs and smiles....and focuses....as he levitates.
