I spoke to Monkey’s teacher this morning, since she’s the teacher she is the team leader and I know (and love) her, I thought I would ask her about it.
So. Yes, it reads like a 3 year reevaluation but it’s really only an annual. Kindergarten is such a big year for kids and . . . → Read More: The explanation for that letter from the school district.

Guess who got a letter from the special education office setting up an IEP meeting! It is that time of year, we’ve been expecting the teacher to mention it at any time now and let us know what they were proposing. It is not rocket science, right? Right.
So…it’s a bit disturbing to receive . . . → Read More: New and creative ways to drive parents nuts.

Monkey picked up a new word this weekend. Poor Duhdee was trying to get him dressed this AM and kept offering shirts only to be met with, “Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope.” Ha!
Also, this morning I had a chance to talk to Monkey’s teacher while we waited for Monkey to walk into class and . . . → Read More: Sometimes I hate thinking up titles.

Yesterday morning Monkey was having a leeeetle bit of trouble transitioning to school…he fell to his knees in the truck and his face crumpled. Tears were a heartbeat away… Thinking quickly (and desperately) I showed him the change I had in my pocket. He’s been really interested in money lately so I thought it . . . → Read More: I’m RICH!

I swear I just updated you all yesterday, how is it Thursday? Better question, how is it the middle of damned FEBRUARY? Time is slipping away too fast for me. Gah!
First things first, I’ve decided to live. *Insert eyeroll* Duhdee is now deciding if he’s going to try the cold from hell on . . . → Read More: Woah, what happened here?

After yesterday’s post I went to work1 and managed to stay upright for 3 whole hours. Everyone was amazed and, also, grossed out. This cold isn’t pretty. I called my husband to come and get me on his way to pick Monkey up from school so I was there when his teacher said two . . . → Read More: From a feverish addled mind.

So. We just did our morning drop off.
The plan was that we’d do our normal drop off and his teacher would observe from a distance so that we could figure out the best place to transition Monkey. We wanted a location a that he was relatively comfortable in (so, not a doorway) and . . . → Read More: Completely ridiculous!

I owe Duhdee an e-mail. Why do I need to e-mail my husband1? Yesterday, when Duhdee picked up Monkey from school2 he was handed a packet. Anyone who has a child on an IEP knows that a packet is never good news. BUT! It was Monkey’s progress reports and he is making progress so . . . → Read More: Brilliant!

One of the recommendations from the OT at our last visit to the Fragile X clinic was to consider Under Armour for Monkey. Since he benefits so much from deep pressure we thought it had a chance of being really good for him. Of course, if there is one thing we’ve learned, it’s that . . . → Read More: Under Armour and Making New Friends

I’m not just feeling bitter over the fact that we still have a MOUNTAIN in our front yard from the last two storms, though that doesn’t help my mental status. I need to see some green grass soon, dammit! Anyway.
The real issue here is that between winter break and the 3 snowdays and . . . → Read More: Another @%#^ing snowday.
