Guest guest Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 Cari here.? Wife of Jeff (8 years) who is a coal miner turned LPN (I'm a SAHM). Mom to Nick (DS-14) who just happens to have Down Syndrome, OCD, ADD, Hyperlexia, and some autistic tendencies just for good measure, (7) and Zachary (5).? This year Nick started Junior High.? We (as in Mom and Dad) were a little apprehensive especially after last year (at least 1 phone call a week about Nick's behaviors and at least 1 trip to the school EOW).? Prior to school starting, at the request of the principal (who actually knew Nick from her years at his elementary school and me from college), I wrote a newletter introducing Nick to the Junior High staff and explaining to them what Jeff and I expected.? The staff loved the newsletter and from day one have treated Nick like a 14 year old!? Nick has had a couple of so-so days, but nothing truly major as far as melt-downs go. is a second grader this year and like his older brother loves school.? Zachary started kindergarten this year and much to my delight and dismay (I miss him) loves school and refuses to consider coming home to stay with Mommy during the day.? My boys are growing up!? I miss my babies but I'm delighted in the little men they are becoming. Cari ________________________________________________________________________ More new features than ever.
