In the process

[newmama]

Kerry- glad to hear about your date! Distance sucks but a benefit is that it helps things to go slower, right? And you sound wise to take a couple of days to process.

I will do the same tomorrow!

On another note- I was able to wear my size 10 jeans today- the first time in 7 years! Woohoo! So hopefully I can continue to wear them. They are Gap Jeans, bootcut and well made so they are still in style.

and fyi-- THE BOY from my class has been evaluated...normal IQ. Poor guy has a severe communication disorder. He is doing better but my boy with Autism is so flippin loud-- lots of noises and echolalia and stuff. He is so sweet--the other day he was obsessing with the electric pencil sharpener, I asked him "why are you sharpening pencils?" he answered "because it's a little bit fun." lol! Today I asked him to make up a story with a bat. So he said that Sharpy the Bat (Vampire Bat) tried to bite a dolphin. The dolphin said "there's no biting allowed!" and the bat flew away.

oh and my son...haven't reported much about S but he is still babbling away with jibberish and never stops moving. EVER. He and I went to my Gram's to deliver Costco stuff. He ran down the hallway in her assisted living home and all the old folks lit up when they saw him! Sometimes he cried when he saw them and other times he smiled back (some old people are scary looking I guess...?)
He is into stacking things now and still boogies. Today there was some song on the radio with a steady beat. I look back at him in his carseat and he is throwing his head back totally in time with the beat! Coincidence? probably but it was still adorable. And now he lifts his arms up to say "pick me up" and lays his head on my shoulder to initiate a hug.
