We had Asa's IEP meeting yesterday for going into 2nd Grade! He knew we were going to be coming to school for a meeting, so yesterday he told his teacher he wanted to make a video of himself reading to share with us! It took everything in me not to break down into happy proud tears. A truly defining moment! The video was a little longer and had to be shortened because of file size, but the best part was in the last frame, he corrected himself from saying play and to reading kick!Jackiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18411631764977673928noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8342375980253910557.post-87408920513772966922015-04-28T13:24:00.000-04:002015-04-28T13:24:10.867-04:00NeglectI know I neglect you tired old blog. My last post was in the grip of winter. Spring is slowly (very, very slowly) blooming and we did go in search of warmer weather. We returned to the sun warmed beaches of Emerald Isle NC for April vacation. I think it's totally worth the 14 hour drive... The memories are worth it (uh-em Jenna).<br />

I feel like the bear from "Bear Snores On" by Karma Wilson and Jane Chapman. I want to stay in bed because it is too cold outside, I want to hibernate in the house! Anything below 15 degrees is just crazy and average highs for the past 2 weeks have been mostly this! Though the days are getting longer and the sun just a little bit brighter in the sky, there is hope that Spring isn't too far away! I'm not blogging much because I'm frozen in Northern New England... We did not have the massive snow that hit the coast but it would of been fun to play in :) :) We only have about 6 inches on the ground. Looking forward to February, one month closer to Spring...Jackiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18411631764977673928noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8342375980253910557.post-76619550155274396942015-01-09T14:07:00.002-05:002015-01-09T15:32:40.883-05:00Quote of the DayI'm not blogging as much as I'd like! But I do religiously read the blogs I follow :) Kelle Hampton at Enjoying the Small Things made me cry today, but it was a warm fuzzy cry and this is the paragraph that got me, and it got me good. She hit the nail on the head and smashed the ball out of the ballpark. Inspiring words... Kelle is an amazing writer and mom, her daughter Nella happens to have extra good stuff just like Super Ace :)<br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.7999992370605px;">"I can’t make everything better for Nella, I can’t magically change the way her brain works or fix her muscle tone or promise that she won’t have moments of feeling different from others in life. But I can do my part in making the world a kinder place for her to thrive—for all my kids to thrive. “It’s like this,” I told my friend Annie the other day, “With all the world’s sorrow and problems and heartache and hatred, it can feel so overwhelming sometimes to think that we can do anything to fix it. But if someone came and told me there was one thing I could do that was guaranteed to fix it—no matter how small that fix was and no matter how silly the task assigned was, I’d do it. If someone handed me a wrench and promised me that if I turned that wrench to the right every day, it would help make Nella feel more accepted and capable and valued, I’d turn that damn wrench right, every moment of every day until I died.” </span></div>

Santa makes a visit with a sack full of toys for all the wonderful little girls and boys.I have 3 uncles and 2 aunts, meaning my grandparents had a natural Brady Bunch, equaling a VERY LARGE extended family to date. This gathering includes 4 generations and a traditional reading of "What Christmas Means To Me". This is a short or however long you'd like writing by the family member who's next on the generation timeline. Many have the tissues handy cause it's usually heartfelt and a tear jerker! Last Sunday completed the 3rd generation of readings and hopefully next year the 1st of the 4th generation (my 2nd cousin Logan) will continue the tradition.<br />

The beginning of 1st grade has not been an easy transition for Mr. Asa. His stamina or lack there of and being in school for a whole day is really wiping him out. He's also had some issues with following directions and moving on to new tasks. We'll get there, he overcame these exact tendencies last year and he has a new aid and also getting used to a new teacher. I feel like we took two steps forward by the end of Kindergarten but now somehow back to square one. It's only been a month (and a very inconsistent one) so we'll lay out some new plans and directions and hopefully he'll be back to a good guy who listens and follows along.... </div>

Asa was sooo excited :) He's been ready all week but they didn't start until today to ease into it! We had an open house yesterday and he got to see most of his friends. His best friend Ryan ran up to him, put him in a big bear hug and lifted him off the ground :) :) Asa's entire class loves him the same and it makes this momma feel good that he has such great friends. It also makes me feel good that they are a small class of 16 kids and they are all very close :)<br />

Before I know it the leaves will be turning and a fall wind will be blowing that cold northern air and the slow slide into winter will begin, misery...<br />
<br />
But this summertime video lifted my spirits, it's super cute! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMhLtCoKHkQ">What We've Learned at Amusement Parks</a><br />

Enjoying summer. We are officially in our 2nd week of summer vacation. Asa started day camp yesterday and is really enjoying it. He has one favorite counselor that he had last year too and I had to tear him away from her yesterday when I picked him up :) Gracyn has wanted to stay the past two days as well, but he can't go until next year - you have to be 3 and potty trained!<br />

We've already made a couple trips to Maine and will spend the 4th weekend there. It will be a full house! Asa also spent last week with Grammy there and both boys get to spend next week!<br />

I also had my 20 year High School Reunion this past weekend - shout out to the Class of 1994! It was nice to reconnect with those I haven't seen in a long time and even those I see every once in a blue moon!<br />
<br />
Hot and Humid and I'm loving it... Pool is set up and evening dips are on the agenda.<br />

His name - Asa, his purpose, to change the world. Well he has certainly changed mine and everyone who knows him. He is a Superhero, he's my love, he's the smile on my face :) Happy Birthday to the King of My World because he calls me his Princess :) :)<br />
