Wow .....it's been over a month since I have been here...how did that happen...oh yeah I have 2 kids...a job ...and a crazy life!!!!! So here is what has been happening with Miss Kelsey since we last met....school has begun to challenge her.... she is hysterical over "tests". Math "tests", Spelling "test", the 220 club, just about everything she encounters she feels like its a "test" but let me tell you she is figuring it out. Ms Apple is giving her spelling "tests" verbally...she can spell the words to Ms Apple and get credit for the ones she can spell correctly ....getting it on paper is just not going to happen right now. The math is done with the resource teacher so it attacked bit by bit and she is getting more number sense each day....but let me tell you her retention is still very poor. She gets very frustrated with me and I can only push her so far each day after school before she burns out. Reading is coming along also...a few more sight words from her dolch list ...no where the 220 she need to be at but we have all year :-)
The biggest change was she had new ear tubes put in...out with the old non working ones and in with new (hopefully) working ones!!!!!
She and I went to the ENT Center for the first time and it was wonderful! No trip to Hasbro this time! We had to be there at 7am and home by 9am! Dr said she had a tremendous amount of scar tissue in her right ear. He was able to repair some damage left behind by the last tube that had embedded itself in the ear canal and fit the tube in properly. She had a pretty bad bleed from the right ear about 2 hours after surgery. It was like nothing we had every experienced before. The blood was pouring our of her ear ....but after a bit of a frantic call to the ENT Center to the Dr ....ear drops and some gauze she was in the clear.
Hockey has begun and I forgot how much I love to watch my little girl play a game she loves. She is still learning the game and the skills but she is doing well. She is a good little skater and if she can stop weld her stick like a tomahawk she will do just fine. (oh yeah and stop fighting with every kid who take the puck from her!) She is on a squad that all the kids are at least 6-12" taller than her with one kid being at least 4'10....but Kelsey will hold her own ...she just has to skate faster and play harder....and I bet she is the only one who carries her own hockey bag ...even though its as big as she is!
So that is about all .....Kianna is well...got her braces off....looks beautiful....and loving all the foods that have been banned for the past 2 years. Gymnastics season is about to kick off...meet next weekend.....and we are just busy, busy, busy.... but each day I am taking time to be thankful as it is that time of year.....if we are facebook friends you will see...each day I will post from the serious to to silly ...what I am thankful for....
Stay tuned ...I promise not be away for so long this time :-)
