I am sitting here pondering what I should do today. There is laundry to be done, School work to be done, dishes to wash or just sit here and ponder. I think I will ponder.
Last night was a wonderful night for my son Isaac (who has recently been diagnosed with Aspergers, That is another blog) had a boy/girl party. As you all probably know I was a nervous wreck. I was scared to death that no one would show up. But the did we had about 30 kids, they danced (not with each other, of course) and there was NO DRAMA~~~ It was wonderful, he even got enough $$ to buy himself an IPOD touch. He was so happy and that in turn makes me so happy. He has had a rough go at it and to see him smile and to tell us thank you and that WE ROCK!
I have many things I want to blog about but I do not want to bore anyone! So for today I will leave it at that. I am still working on my list. Tomorrow's blog will be about forgiveness.

Hi JD...or do you prefer Julie now?
ReplyDeleteHow old is your son? Just on what I know about you in reading it sounds like he couldn't have a better mom to advocate for him and love him right where he is at!
I was married to a man who's son has Asperger's. He was dx while we were married. Luckily his mom was very diligent in making sure the school's worked with him and they got him into a great program that helped "maistream" while maintaining the grade level he needed to be at.
I believe Bryce was about 7 when he was dx. It was hard because other kids were not nice. Luckily he had a good relationship w/ my kids so that helped "buffer" things.
I am keeping up w/ your list and love the "dance lessons" idea. Ballroom maybe?? Keep us posted on how that pans out.
Do you remember practicing together on your front lawn for cheerleading tryouts? LOL...that was fun :)
Love you!
Heather
