She is the *I* in her IEP

Team meeting yesterday. This kid is just going GANG BUSTERS! She took what they call a 4th grade probe - she read 43 words!!!! That's grade level - baby!!!!! What's really funny - I was stopped 3 times in the hall before I actually got to the meeting and was told congratulations. The WHOLE school is S's teacher. :-) We also started the *PROCESS* of getting her a laptop for class next year. You know the State - have to document and prove everything 3 times over. Puts me right over the edge. But we're looking at having one by next Sept - if not - B and I have decided we would furnish one.

I also got to see some really COOL new software out there. Like the "smart" stuff - once she types a letter a screen will pop up with words for her to pick from. I'm very excited about this. I thought Tech Club was just going to be a chance for her to be more independent and practice social skills and here she busts through that too. She really should be the poster child for inclusion. She has really blossomed. Thank God for Mrs Anderson!!!

J's game was cancelled on Wed - we were ALL so bummed. I really don't know why - it had stopped raining several hours before - but maybe the fields just couldn't be saved. Who knows. But I was really bummed. J, of course, just ran off to play - no skin off him. :-) God, he LOVES to play outside!

We received a box of books from Aunt Betty this week. We were ALL excited. They are SO cute. Lots of "Children's Letters to God" and that type. J is loving reading them before bed. He also brought home a Junie B Jones book that we're almost done with. We read while S is at swimming lessons. I love Junie B - she reminds me a LOT of J. :-)

We were all up at 6 am today - woo hoo. :-/ ughhh. Got to get our "playing" in before school. They're begging at 7 to go get the neighbors. I hold them off till 8 and then the neighborhood is up for grabs.

I'm planning on planting all my *stuff* this weekend. I thought I could get laundry done and take it easy but no going. :-/ Such is Mother's Day weekend. :-)
