[Cagdu] Wonder

Hello Everyone,
I thought since this list seems to be a little quiet at the 
moment, I would write and tell you about Wonder.
We have been experiencing some difficulties with crossing 
intersections, which I thought I could work out myself, so I have 
been doing so for about two or three weeks now.
I finally gave in and called the school on Tuesday, and the 
trainers came out today to see what he was doing.
So, in a nut shell, when we cross an intersection, Wonder will 
start out straight, but then he bows out into the traffic and 
then back as he picks up the line to bring me to the wheelchair 
ramp.
So, today, we were working with the trainers, he did this again, 
which I thought with trainers around, he would not do it, but he 
did.
Not only did he do this, but when we were walking down a street, 
on the sidewalk, we came across a driveway with cars waiting to 
pull out into the street.  So, what Wonder tried, was to go 
around the back side of the car, which I stopped him.  Not only 
was he going to go around the car, but behind it was another car, 
so he would have gone between two cars.
So, after that, we were at another crossing, and when we went 
across, there was a car in the crosswalk, so Wonder decided to 
take us out into the on coming traffic instead of waiting for the 
car to move.
These are things he should not be doing, so they are going to 
work with him starting next week.
This means, that he will probably not be at convention.
Well, that is where we will leave it for now, because we don't 
want to discuss what the next step will be if they can't work out 
the kinks.
Well, that is what's going on here.
I hope everyone is doing well and preparing for convention.
Take care,

Robert Stigile
