Frederic's Job - followup

I was reminded that I didn't post what job Frederic is working. (Thank you Kristie. I need someone to keep me strait.) He took the job working with the autistic teen. He LOVES it. It pays well and he gets to drive their minivan around so that takes care of vehicle costs. Just this week he also started working at Home Depot. It's just a temp job to pay off student loans. Gotta love those.
He really enjoys teaching and so he gets to teach but in really creative ways. He is also doing a few things with the family, so two 9-year-olds and 11-year-old and the 15-year-old autistic teen, he taught an intro to music lesson with them and today is he doing the culture of Japan with them. Both things really help Zachary (the autistic child), music because it helps everyone with brain function and Japanese culture because they are learning how to use chop-sticks and fine motor skills is a challange. Everyday he thinks of something that will hopefully help Zachary develope in new ways. It is fabulous to watch him have such a rewarding job.
