Adventures in July

I should dig through my photos... right now too tired.

July this year has been surprisingly cool. Even today the sky is overcast, slight breeze and thunderstorms are threatening again. (Only a Science teacher would start out talking about the weather...)

Michael: We have been working with PEIP on M's developmental delays in speech. He is picking up more on sign language and last week stopped talking entirely. I was concerned at first but he started this week with babbling at things to tell you all about them and using simple phrases "Num-num, Mama." (I'm hungry, feed me Mom.) Or when somehow opening the sunscreen or pulling out an entire box of wipes, "Na-No" and naming things Blanket = Eh-ba-kah

Sarah can climb anything literally. No matter how tall. She loves feeding the neighbors doggie, Milo. Watching my classroom pet Galaxy (turtle) for hours watching movies, playing games. I decided to start teaching her how to use the mouse on the computer--Rew and I were both shocked when she figured out how to play "Plants vs. Zombies" She had a tonsillectomy today, and I was told by the nurse "I've never seen a child so perky after surgery. Would you like to go home now?" She was literally dancing in the post op room with the IV in... Umm... I tried to keep her calm. We're home now. She keeps waking up for about 5 mins, wanting to blow bubbles, color, etc and then zonks out
