BACK FROM THEATRE CAMP!

So this has really been a great summer for us, and as you all know, we BADLY needed that to be true...

6 weeks of Buddy-Building Social Skills camp here in NYC and then 2 weeks theatre camp again on Martha's Vineyard. Again we camped out the entire 2 weeks at a Family Campground and every day after theatre camp, rode bikes and headed for the beach for the rest of the day to ride the big waves on boogie boards before heading back to large dinners grilled outside and way-early bedtimes. Life is good.

Malcolm played a baby lamb in the musical, had a break-out solo. He did such a good good job of the acting & singing classes, rehearsals, still pretty shy of lots of the kids but they kept trying to get him to hang with him. OFten during lunch, he NEEDED a break and Nintendo before afternoon continuation ... But I heard he gave a great pep talk to the entire cast before the first show ...

So we are back, still without a school, still none of our DOE therapists getting paid so I have lots of NYC DOE doors to continue kicking, getting reorganized to homeschool another year and I am going to do a better job this year!!!

Last summer I had left my digital camera up on Vineyard, which was waiting for me there this summer, camp had forgotten to send it ... and when I put batteries in it, there were the photos I had taken of the terrible deep purple and yellow bruises on my baby's arms inflicted by the improper restraint at the last horrible school. Thank God we pulled him so fast. Thank God he is growing and learning every day and recovered.

Anyways, just wanted to say "Hey"...

Hey Sara,

we missed you! I'm so glad you have a wonderful relaxing work/vacation. How cool!

Go after those people, get what your guy needs. It sounds like he's doing so well and you're doing so well, like everyone is in a good place right now.
