On April 11th, I had an IEP meeting at the school to go over the results of the reassessment tests they did with JD. He's still going to get speech therapy and he's been in a "social club" that the speech therapist runs, so they will keep him in that. They play games and learn to work through furstrations and express how they feel and ask for help. I still need to talk to his pediatrician about his anxiety, which seems to be causing most of his touble in the classroom. He did show improved in his reading and math and he's been participating more in class since the previous meeting. On April 12th, I took the day off and went on the kindergarten field trip to the local fire department. They have a brand new building because they had a fire that destryed most of the old one in 2010. We'd had 2 reall heavy snows and it was just too heavy for the roof...the roof collapsed and broke a gas line and there was a huge fire. I remember walking down from our house, through the snoww, and getting some pictures. The new facility is beautiful and up to date with everything they need. The kids had a great time and hopefully learned something while they were there. JD asked me to come to school for luch, so I did that too (no lost teeth and no puking...yay!) and then went for a massage I put some birthday money away for.
On April 20th, my brother's girlfriend threw a party for his 40th birthday. I think Dave had a really good time even though he kept saying he didn't want a big party or anything. I got to see friends I haven't seen in years and all Dave's friend's got to meet his nephew (that he talks about all the time, apparently). He didn't want a cake, which I think only disapponted JD, since he was they only one who asked for a piece of cake. It was a quick trip, since we drove up Saturday morning and left at noon on Sunday. I did get a chance to clean at mom and dad's, which the house desparately needed. .Will have to make it a point to do that every time we go up there.
