The following Monday...

Hi, I'm a bit behind but I think that I should also add that the following Monday I kept Mataya home because her class was on a field trip to a gym club.. Yeah, don't think so. I got a call from the school nurse saying that Skyler had hurt himself during P.E. I asked if they had a wheelchair that we could use to get him out the car. They didn't have one?!?!? Somebody needs to hop on Craigs List!! I still can't believe that there are no between choices.. life flight, rookie wagon or hop. I had to have him hop out to the van. It's been a few years since I have been able to carry him. Oh, I forgot to tell you that he fell, hurt his ankle, and heard it pop. Skyler's sensory system isn't typical. If he says that it doesn't hurt that much all that means it that I'm glad that he's not in pain but not that I can be really sure that he is really fine. I took him to the emergency room and it was a really bad sprain and he was on crutches for almost a week. He went to ym/yw with out them but regretted it the next day. He's still not walking in quite his normal way but he will get there in not long. The kinda funny part was that after we talked some more I found out that he was only doing the exercises before the run and he fell down. ;0) We laughed a little bit about that one.. We are doing much better. I'm taking Mataya to get her stitches out today.

We are also taking some very slow steps for potty training Alisha. We are doing it VERY VERY slowly..... as recommended by her SCOE teacher. At this point we are having her run around in her little panties and timing when she wets to see if her body can last long enough to make it worth it for her to go potty. So far this time has been one hour and fifteen minutes!! Normally she's right around an hour and five minutes or ten max!! Anyway, she breaks things down into such tiny steps that you can't help but be successful!! I guess it's good that she's like that.. It just goes against everything in me... LOOK there's the potty.. let's go already!!! Not that bad. I'll read stories and clear a few weeks so that we can be consistent but that is the very best that I would be able to do alone. She is really good and really smart. I believe that she knows what she is doing... I'm just ready to be DONE!!!! Something better hurry up because Alisha has started teasing me about her diapers... Yeah, if ya know me at all you'll know that I don't stand for that and it's time to get creative and get that FIXED!!! in short order!!! Next Sunday Skyler officially becomes a teacher. That is very neat and kinda weird at the same time. Every once in a while not only can I not believe that he is that old let alone us.. I can't believe that we have clothed, fed and generally supplied everything for him for that many years.. Can you picture the heap of everything that would take??? I can hardly envision it and I was there.. Anyway, I better go for now I have another closet to get to before I pick up Mataya.
