Both my kids are grazers. Frustrating!

Met with the school for an ARD meeting...decided to leave my daughter at the ABA clinic full time. Schools suck here!

I feel so lucky we got into one of the charter schools my district offers.

 

[YMZ PE]

Attended back to school night. Learned the school doesn't do fundraisers, only direct donations - woot! I happily cut the PTA a fat check in exchange for not having to hock overpriced candy or gift wrap to my coworkers.

Do you have to reapply every year?

 

[SNAPE/SMOTT PE]

Any of you live in an area that has a good special education program? If so, job openings for engineers too?

Ready to move!

Nope, once you are in you are in! but to get in it is lottery based. My daughter was lucky to get one of the eight spots in kindergarten(she is now in 2nd). our middle daughter starts kindergarten next year but since her sister is already a student she gets a spot automatically.

That's awesome. So if a younger sibling gets in, can an older one get in automatically too?

If the younger sibling gets drawn the older gets in only if there is room in their grade. If there is no room they are first on the waitlist. One of my daughters class mates has an older brother who had to wait one year until a spot opened up because his grade was full.

Austin suburbs...

Mini-Tex had an awesome scrimmage. Caused and recovered a fumble. On the flip-side, I'm not certain that I can continue feeding him...14, 6' 1" and 185#.

I wish I could move to Austin. I keep getting invites to a group, through work, who is based in Austin. Once told them if they had a job open I could move into at their office, I would make the meetings.

Wow! Tall kid.

My ninth grade daughter made the high school cross country team last week.

We didn't know they actually cut kids or else we would have ran harder over the summer.

Some of these kids are running sub six minute miles so it was pretty competitive.

She used to be fairly competitive and played on a terrible competitive softball team a few years ago. And by terrible ; terrible coaching team philosophy that really screwed her up a little bit and made her not want to play organized sports anymore.

She has been fairly happy with the move but hasn't really found a cord group of friends to hang out with, so I'm hoping this will help nudge her in that direction little bit, as well as as some fun and have something else to do other than come home and goof off on the Internet.

 

[MA_PE]

Good for her. Keep kids in sports and keep them out of the courts!

 

[Supe]

First day of school = GF panic attack. Junior didn't get off the bus. Assholes at the school put her on the wrong one...

 

[YMZ PE]

^ Aww hell no!!! That's horrible! How did they finally figure it out?

Mr told me BabyYMZ was proud that she drew mommy's boobies on the magnadoodle this morning. MiniYMZ muttered, "It didn't really look like them." Then leaned in and whispered, "It looked like a butt." So my life is turning into the Jim Gaffigan show.

^^^LOL

We went through the same with Mini-Tex and football...crappy coach, and he sat out a year of football. Glad your freshman is getting involved...it definitely helps to have a coach/band director/robotics coach watching/guiding them and a "team-family" at school.

i thought starting solid foods was supposed to help babies sleep through the night....fuller tummies less need to get up.

Apparently they suspected something was wrong when a 1/2 dozen parents all called to say the same thing.
