Woah it's been awhile...

Sorry about that...if there's anyone out there still checking to see if I've updated..haha...

really there's not a lot to talk about..we're struggling with AJ's teacher at school. That's a big sore spot for me right now..wanna get me fired up..ask me about that...basically she's insisting we get him diagnosed so he can be medicated...the poor kid has had so much adjustment to do these last 6 months..I just don't think it would be fair for us to get him diagnosed at this stage in the game...he needs some positive reinforcements, some self esteem, and some time to get used to being a 6 year old boy with expectations and responsibilities. He's never got any of these...he is so understimulated that it's sad...and basically his teacher feels hard done by because she needs to give him some extra attention...ok..before I get myself into a tissy..I need to stop there...

Connor is doing well...he's learning new words everyday..the cutest thing he does lately is watching Football with Daddy. He sits snuggled up next to Daddy, and will clap and cheer anytime the crowd on TV does...we've taught him to say "touchdown" as he raises his arms up high and "defence" as he pumps his fist out...he's super cute...I was angry with the other two children the other day...yelling my fool head off because they had messed up a room I had just cleaned up..Connor came walking over to me and wanted up..so I picked him up and he just gave me a hug...totally calmed me down..just what I needed to help me express to the other two how angry I was without spitting my words at them...

Emma..is back in dance...she is super excited...she'll be one of the youngest in her class, which I think will be really good for her..will help keep her on task to see the others on task...Nana was just here for a visit, and Emma loved every minute of it..she loves her Nana..and misses her all the time...

Julie and Jenn are visiting now for Thanksgiving..we'll do a turkey on Sunday..and then hopefully Lindsay and Tyler will be our next visitors...I love visitors...they bring "home" to me...it's nice..and it makes you feel special that people would come this far..just to see you...I love my friends.
