I think a blog update is overdue! We have had a very uneventful winter season this year. We had a nice Christmas at home, and we did nothing special for New Years, as I had to work. I have been somewhat lazy and didn't even take many pictures!
Deiana got a Kindle Fire for Christmas, and it has been her favorite thing ever. So much so that I occasionally have to confiscate it due to overuse. Besides the Kindle Fire Deiana's days consist of school, gymnastics, and socializing with her friends, all of which she loves.
Deiana has been doing great at school, but continues to need help with speech services. I recently asked the school to add language services to her speech IEP. This was actually news to me that she was not already receiving language services (I thought it was included with her speech). It should be obvious to all that she is below age level in this area. They tested her, and while she is below average, it is not low enough to warrant intervention. Honestly, trying to get her services has been has been incredibly frustrating if not impossible in the five years we have had her. I have had to either pay for private help or teach her myself. We recently had a private evaluation and they couldn't imagine why she does not qualify at school. She has come so far, and I am committed to helping her reach her full potential!!
There will be some changes at home soon, one son moving out the other moving back in. Details to follow.
Up next, some more gymnastics meets, and spring break fun! (More pictures too)
