I can Add to the list of gross things my Boys have taught me!

Happy Easter Everyone!

I asked Jonah what he learned at church last night and he simply said "Jesus is alive." JESUS IS ALIVE!!! Simple words out of the mouth of a child but such a profound statement. So, Happy Easter, Again, enjoy the day and enjoy its wonderful meaning!


OK, this past week has been uh...busy, I suppose is a good word! I learned another gross thing because I have boys....(because I KNOW if I had a little girl (LOL) she would never have gotten into this situation!)...rat bites don't hurt. (AYE YI YI!) You can all guess with about 100% accuracy which child this was (Jonah, for those of you who aren't familiar enough with us yet)...so I can add that to "When you feed a toad a lightning bug, it glows"....Still reminding myself that I just didn't KNOW that I wanted boys! LOL....

We had the boys' IEP (special education) meetings this past week. Boy oh BOY am I glad that's over! I've been stressing for three months over this... Jonah will be in a regular ed classroom and he will have a one on one aide with him for most of the day. He won't have the aide for science or social studies, but for the rest of the day, he will have extra help. This person will be watching for seizures as well, watching Jonah during recess (Jonah is extremely sensory seeking, so he's a "jumper", added to the fact that Jonah doesn't feel pain normally (hence the rat bite not hurting... oh, and I should probably add that it was a pet rat, Jon and the boys were volunteering at the humane society), so Jonah needs someone keeping an eye on him so he doesn't break his other foot!)

OK...in other news, Sam's alkaline phosphatase is going down. (Praise GOD!) Its origin is NOT bone, so there is no bone malignancy! We will repeat it again in a few weeks to make sure it is still going down. Sam had his occupational therapy and speech re-evaluations this past week. He's now at least 30% delayed globally...so we will be starting therapies with him shortly. He sure does say "mama" very clearly. Ha....in fact...he is waking up and yelling "MAMA" right now, so I will close for now....there's a Sammy waiting for me. Have a great day!
