Week in review, the words.....
Between work and school and working out and practice there have been some long days. Some 6 am to 7 PM away from the house days. Temps are SLOWLY pushing their way up to the 60s and we're hoping for 70s this weekend.
The boys are doing awesome at lacrosse practice. L's coach came up to me and said that he was doing so "incredibly awesome" for his first time out there (despite his small size). Really that boy learns quick. Their Piano teacher also went out of his way to pay them a compliment. T found out which Lax team he was going to be on for the season (their youth club age group is divided up into 3 teams). He got the friends he wanted and the coach he wanted for his team so he is psyched! GO team WHITE!
B is doing super awesome in her swimming lessons, she has come so far. She also got a blue ribbon at the Special Olympics Track meet (Huge deal!), we just recently noticed what a fast runner she is! She also is getting ready to meet a new friend. We met "Maggie" today, and hope to have her start working with us in June. B is taking this transition with more maturity than most of the adults involved. Enough said. She has been my super "cheerful helper with any chore that needs to be done around the house" girl. She sweeps the floor, empties the dishwasher, and puts away the laundry. All with the most enthusiasm and confidence of anyone I have ever seen. I am so just enjoying her right now. I met with a friend (and fellow parent advocate) for a LONG lunch today, brainstorming about the upcoming school meeting next week. We're changing our mind and going for full inclusion for 4th grade. because it's better, because she can do this, and because it is her right. It's amazing how much fighting parents still need to do in 2014. This rivals the "back of the bus" people. SO, SO tired of fighting.
In the garden, just a few of the greens we planted 3 weeks ago are slowly peeking out of the ground. I'm not totally optimistic about this gardening season. Leaves are coming out on all the fruit trees. "We" mowed, and I cleaned up all the flower beds. Looking forward to the "how are we going to get everyone where they need to go parents divide and conquer" Saturday, and Running a 5K, eating a high calorie breakfast made by my loves, Working in the garden and Mother's Day Sunday. Hope yours is great!
