Ok - just a quick update - still dealing w/the emotional issues of my life but am doing ok, getting thru each day one at a time...
Tues night I took the boys to the annual SOLDIER SHOW here on base... it's a great thing to watch - a group of young, talented soldiers that tour around and put on a musical... The boys really liked it although it was a bit long for them... Afterwards they all stood outside the theater and shook hands - the boys got autographs in their programs... Deven got 4, he didn't want any more, Dilen got EVERY SOLDIER and was THRILLED!!! And I have to say I was so proud of my oldest - he made comments like "Dilen is lucky - he got alot of autographs"... I could see part of his motivation was to make Dilen feel special for the night... What I loved besides the wonderful show itself was that the boys saw that you can be a soldier - serve your country and help to defend freedom AND have fun singing and dancing... Hmmmm we shall see....
Wednesday Deven met w/his therapist for the 1st time... It was a good meeting - they will meet 2 or 3 more times to establish a rapport before school starts again as that will be when we will really need the therapist... Then we went to Hurricane Harbor/Six Flags for the afternoon and had a wonderful day!! As we were floating around the lazy river Dilen told me "This is the bestest day ever!"... I loved it!!
Thursday morning Dilen was tested for Kindi admission... I think it went well - we will know a verbal yeah or nay by Monday so that we will know whether or not to continue w/the testing and evaluating thru the preschool system for special ed services or not... If he makes it in we will talk about whether or not to test or give Kindi a shot for a month or so... Keep your fingers crossed cause I know he really wants to go to "big boy school" and I know my wallet would REALLY like a break as costs would literally be cut in half once Dilen is in regular school...
Not too much else happening right now... I really need to do some reading and news watching and catch up on current affairs - maybe this weekend when the office slow... Til next time...
