Joy’s Week

My sweet girl – what a week we have had.  Joy is being re-zoned to another school for next year.  Everyone told me that the special ed kids get tossed around the district depending on numbers.  Every year a different school.  So far that is holding true for us.  We are headed to Brill next year.  Then at church the Primary President (leader of children’s church) called.  They were working on getting Joy a special adult helper, but they are having difficulties.  Would I mind moving her to another class so things will work out easier?  No, of course not.  I’m sure everything will work out fine I told her.  But both of those things in one week just got to me.  Can’t anyone else see the amazing girl we have here?  Or am I just being sensitive and no one means to treat her like a second class citizen.  Just touchy, I guess.

Happier happenings…just cute drinking her milk, playing Duck, Duck, Goose, and catching the world!

Joy’s Week

Dentist on a Monday for Joy.  I actually took everyone – here they are watching TV, except Joy, who loves the ipad!.  Poor drugged Joy afterwards.  She had two fillings and a crown.

PT – is it any wonder why she loves Miss Lien?  They get to play for an hour every week!

Playing around with her sisters – Wii dancing and dolls!

Joy took this mess and sorted it to this.  So proud of you Joy!

This picture!  I love it!  Joy love hats – adores them!  And babies.  She loves those too.  She has been practicing how to say “cowboy” lately.

Nothing makes Joy happier than a quick “brown juice.”

Joy brought these home from school – so sweet

She sees Bella and Alex on this nap nanny all the time.  So she had to take her turn.

Her bear – she wanted him to wear pajamas so she could put him to bed.  You are pretty cute, my Joy!

Saturday we drove up to the farm.  Grandma’s puppies are so cute!!

Joy’s Week

OT started Joy on an auditory listening program.  Joy loves it! 

While she is listening, she is also doing other activities, in this case sorting by color.

Working with Speech                 Family  - Joy, some of her sisters, her brother and her cousin

Joy went with Becca to her Latin Awards Ceremony – the best part, according to Joy,  besides the clapping, was the refreshments!   Joy, her baby, and the ipad,    Changing things up the next time in OT – this time sorting by a different attribute.

Joy has been asking and asking and asking for Pizza!!!  every Friday.  We finally had pizza for dinner – one happy girl!                                             Joy and her Daddy

Cousins came over on Saturday – jumping and sharing a snack
