Ten years old, huh? A decade. Double digits. The big one-O.

Happy birthday Map Boy


now for updat4es

IEP went well

Messy is doing ok academically
she is really struggling in other areas
she does well with other kids socially making friends, something we worried about with her, but her biggest problem is sitting still for more than ten minutes

she will disrupt the class to get up, or yell or just be silly because she can't stand having to sit still when it isn't all about her KWIM?

she also has trouble seeing people in unexpected places. Like seeing mom at school, a classmate at the store, or her autism specialist at school, the specialist sees her one hour a week at home, and one hour a week at school.

her other biggest problem is accepting change in her schedule


speaking of, today is a half day so we are waiting for her bus to drop her off...I hope it went well :(


Today is Mapboy's 10th birthday he is a decade, he is also sick as a dog LOL poor kiddo at his school one of the teachers makes balloon hats for kids on their birthday, he says it's no big deal, but I think secretly he was looking forward to getting the balloon hat :) He wants his own facebook account ...I told him it would be silly for me to give him his own facebook account since he can't use it until he is 14 ROFL do you believe that some of his friends have facebook accounts? middle school is crazy.

He got his computer back in his room, with some new nifty unhackable nanny type software on it :) not sure if I told you all that he used to have it in his room, but he went and hacked the software so he could sneak on the computer in the middle of the night...DH has convinced me that he will not be able to hack this one.

I have a friend Jo who has been living out of state FOREVER and is moving her family back here, it's nice to see her now and again :)

I am going to break out my camera

and break out of this silly depression I've been having

so look for more pictures soon :)

thanks for reading
