Thomas TS #4

This is the second time I met Astin. This time around, however, he was less cooperative and paid less attention than last week. I suggested reading some of the Dr. Seuss books that I brought but he said he could read it at the library and pulled out some books that taught spelling and letters instead. I decided to play along since he was more interested in that. He kept the book to himself and said he can read it himself and I slightly chastised him, saying he has to learn to share since that’s not a nice thing to do. We read a few of the books and eventually moved over to Pinocchio. Even though he chose the book, it was too hard for him so I had to help him read the majority of what he’s supposed to read and we only got through the first 4 pages before time. His mom told me that he might have been too distracted with the TV since he was watching cartoons before I came and that she’ll do something about that. She also suggested bringing games and puzzles next time I come, hopefully it’ll keep his attention.
