Well, two weeks of school to go, and both of my girls are more than ready to be done. These are pics from Monday (Memorial Day). We spent some time at the Lake (Bill's dad's house). It was 80 plus degrees - great day.My iris' are blooming ...that makes me happy.
Katie's schooling continues to stress me out. You would think with only 2 weeks to go I would not let anything phase me...but once again they wanted me to pick her up and take her home today. I am honestly tired of it... She was fine at home, but starts crying as soon as we pull into the parking lot at school. I think it is a combination of her allergies, her lack of desire to do cognitive work at school, and the vibe that she gets at school that perhaps they aren't really into dealing with her lately. She has always been the type of child that totally senses her caretaker's emotions and plays off of them. The teacher did concede at the end of the day that it was good Katie stayed because she did seem to settle into activities once she got past the initial reaction to them.... 9 1/2 days.... I can do this!
We 've started putting the garden in too... I'll post pics of that later when it's finished. My mom is coming over in the morning to help me finish it. We are going to try and grow sweet corn -- I know, sweet corn in the city...not sure how that is going to pan out...but I'll keep you posted !

Good luck until the end of the school year.
Just a thought from a totally naive outsider, but have you thought about setting time aside each day later this summer for cognitive activities? Maybe that might get her ready for next year.
I'm done as of Wednesday. I have mixed feelings, really. I'm ready for time off but I sure will miss my students.
Have a great week!

Fred - yes, I am hopeful of putting together some type of daily cognitive plan for her this summer. I appreciate the "advice" as it is much needed. Maybe it will help me to actually get my booty in gear and put the program together for her!
Joy -- thanks for stopping by. Good luck with the school search..it is definitely a huge decision. Good luck!
