dyk from my facebook status: For getting "punishment" for character (yellow warning for tattling on Dek, then red punishment for tattling again) Abigail was required to tell us 3 things she loves about Deklan (lifting him up). I went first and listed 5 things and then Abi listed 3 and I must say -- I think that was one of my best parenting moves yet. (That and sentencing Dek to 30 minutes obedience training community service style for being disobedient twice in a row). Loving the new system.

dyk and... and when we were done lifting up Dek he told us about how he helps a friend who can't color as fast as him, but he doesn't SAY she can't color fast he just says, "Do you want me to help you get done with your work super fast like me?" LOL

dyk I took some great pictures of Ellie and Dek at the park

dyk I had to jump start my car THREE TIMES

dyk I went out with Ellie at 2:10 to get the kids at 2:20 and.... DEAD BATTERY

dyk we have a jumper system so I don't need another car and I jumped it then put the jumper box in the front seat haha

dyk was fine at the school, and then at OT when we dropped Abi off

dyk but had to jump it when we were done at the park and picking Abi up at OT

dyk and now my power doors won't open or close electronically (previously they wouldn't power open but would power close) and the door open alarm no longer sounds

dyk Jen-friend nurse update --- the school nurse is following the new marching orders

dyk my Jen-friend layed it out in an email and detailed how the nurse's actions caused a problem 20 minutes after school one day

dyk and since making the new reference card -- no longer QUICK as it's a full 8X10

dyk and today at noon -- Jen-friend's DD Alisha's blood sugar was 37 -- took 2 simple sugar treatments (a box of juicy juice) to get it up to 105 geesh!

dyk The speech therapist diagnostician tester person (LOL no idea what her title is) called me today because she won't be able to attend the meeting

dyk (which annoyed me b/c they moved the meeting because OT wasn't going to be there even though Abi doesn't even qualify for OT and now that it's moved neither our advocate (former ISD diagnostician and Abi's reading tutor) nor Sean can be there AND speech won't be there!!!).

dyk Anyway, Abi will get speech 30 minutes 2X per week and it will include goals such as:

speaking in complete sentences (with one prompt) to answer questions and to ask for help

speaking in those sentences with words in the correct order (with one prompt)

using antonyms and increasing word recall

staying on topic within a conversation (with one prompt) with appropriate back and forth conversing

dyk when she said the appropriate back and forth conversing I started laughing and said Good Luck!!! haha

dyk they never really know how to react to our reactions -- but this is nothing new -- we are so happy she's finally getting some speech b/c she talks so WIERD!!! haha
