This is how I feel today
We had Colby's speech assessment meeting today with the potential of setting up an IEP. It turns out that the state guidelines for younger kids is different than the guidelines for school aged children. It was determined that there was not enough info available for him to qualify for Special ED today. We could drop it and the school would "plan" to give him therapy next school year anyway. The problem is if the program is full with other kids not leaving a slot open for him. We decided to get the last bit of info and meet again next Monday for a follow up meeting. One of the state assessors will be going to school with him tomorrow and observing his articulation and how it effects him in a classroom setting. Hopefully she will have as much difficulty understanding him as the rest of us do and he will qualify for Special Ed which will open up services for him as early as next week. They would start him in the Early Education program then the school would take over in July. Unfortunately the summer program is only 4 weeks and he will be at WDW for the first 2, but at least it is a start. There would be an IEP in place with a guaranteed spot for him next year.
Would be greatly appreciated.
Nick came home this afternoon complaining of a tummy ache and even threw up once (or so he says) he did not go to Lacrosse tonight, but feels well enough to be outside now. We've seen his grades tanking over the last month, but I have no idea why and when I ask him he gets the tummy ache and cries saying that he has no idea why. I have emails in to both of his teachers.
Sometimes being a Mommy sucks.
I did take Colby to a nice park for a picnic lunch and he played for 1 1/2 hrs. he wants to know when we can go back. I've never been a patient Mom when it comes to hanging out at a park so this was a big deal for me.
I picked up a pattern and some material for making some sleep shorts for the boys so I may work on that now.
for all of you.
I've got some playing around to do too. I really need to price out Sept and compare to Dec so I can make a final decision, preferrably in the next few hours though Terra's waiting to play Webkinz.
sad what has become exciting, isn't it? 
That isn't real hard considering that I hadn't had a basketball in my hands for years until I was down to see them over Easter.
