We had our IEP meeting last Thursday, we still don’t have a copy of the IEP to sign. I asked Monkey’s teacher this morning and she said she gave the team a Wednesday deadline to enter changes. A week? I wonder what they’re changing, we didn’t have many comments to their draft. I like these . . . → Read More: How long should it take?

I had so much maple syrup yesterday that I think I will be sweating maple syrup for the rest of the week! We had…vanilla ice cream with maple syrup, maple whoopie pies, maple butter, more vanilla ice cream with maple syrup, maple peanuts…I passed on maple baked beans, maple cotton candy, maple doughnuts and pancakes . . . → Read More: I smell like maple syrup.

Yeah, so we had Monkey’s annual IEP update meeting yesterday and the most exciting part of the whole meeting was…Monkey lost his 4th tooth mid-meeting!

*Covers ears* ALLLLLLLLLL DOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNEE!
We stop the torture about that point although I will admit that I am laughing . . . → Read More: Oh, oh, oh!

Monkey had 4 days of school last week. The comments we received from the teacher were consistent throughout the week. She said:

So, the little darling has perfected “show me.” It is very clear now, there is no doubt as to what he’s saying. Just to be sure I’m understanding him though, he’s started holding his hands out in front of himself, palms up, shoulders lifted as he says “Show me?” Just like I do, lol. . . . → Read More: Show me?

I’m not sure I can take any credit for this at all. We do say please and thank you regularly but I think his teacher is more rigorous in enforcing manners.
This morning on the drive to school Duhdee and I were talking and I heard, from the back seat…
“Excuse me, Daddy?”
Duhdee kept . . . → Read More: Goodness gracious what a polite child!
