One Class Today

Today, David starts his Wednesday afternoon class at Township. This class meets weekly for kids in Jr. High and a little younger. David did it last year and really enjoyed it. I think it helped him tremendously in his social skills too - learning to deal with frustrating situations, working with partners, learning larger assignment skills. So though we won't officially start school until next week, David gets a head start. Abby would really like to start school now. Actually she has been wanting to start about three weeks ago. So David and Ana spend a little time every day with her making sure she knows the letters of the alphabet and doing a few other projects together, like all working on a coloring page together. I love it. I wonder if I'll have to teach Abby anything at all this year!
And here are a couple of pictures that just crack me up. When we were on vacation this summer, we found a waterpark that we decided to go to. The kids were super happy when we told them that's where we were going. We had about and hour and a half drive until we got there. I looked back about 15 minutes into our journey and saw this sight. Do you think they were excited?



I think they wore their goggles for most of the trip and had some massive red lines around their eyes.

    You look like you have great teachers there...perhaps you can sit and read a book while they teach !!!! Do they get extra pts for that? Also the goggles look very painful to me!!!!

A Tribute To My Mom

I am undertaking a three week challenge as a way of support for my dear mother.  I would include a picture here of her if I could, but she would not appreciate that (though I do have permission to write this post) Years ago, as a wee little lass, she had the misfortune of contracting polio.  While she was able to regain normal function and led a very normal life for most of her years, polio has reared its ugly head once more in her life, this time in the form of post-polio syndrome.  Click here for a link to just what post-polio is.  For those of you who prefer a one sentence summary of PPS, it's mainly a continual weakening of the muscles that were affected when polio was first contracted - it can range from mild to quite debilitating.  My mom has been struggling with full blown PPS for a couple of years now.  There is really no cure at all, few medicines to help, just learning to listen to your body in what it now has decided that it can no longer do and trying to keep your activ

Abby's New Look

Image
We've had a busy last week or so.  Here's some big news in Abby's life.  She lost her two front teeth. They came out about four days apart.  She truly lost the second tooth and wasn't able to put it under her pillow for the tooth fairy.  The tooth fairy apparently isn't as vigiliant about leaving money when there is no actual tooth to collect.  But after a few days, our tooth fairy remembered and finally slipped some money under Abby's pillow along with an extra quarter for having to wait so long for her to decide to show up.  At the same time, David had a tooth under his pillow for about three weeks waiting for the tooth fairy.  The tooth fairy finally had to visit during the day when he wasn't in his room, when she finally remembered to pick up the tooth.  It's hard on the tooth fairy to show up when David stays up later than the tooth fairy does these days.  Here's Abby's new look: She's also delighted with the fact that she doesn't ha
