Still going.............

School is going very well so far. Keith seems to be managing quite well with his vision issues. He does have quite a hard time with reading or math pages with alot of problems on them as the words or numbers move as he still has some vision in his right eye. The brain still tries to use the signals from the right eye so that puts alot of strain on his left eye. The NeCAP tests are coming up at school soon and I am not sure how that is going to be as it involves alot of time spent reading and filling in answer pages. I really hope this goes well for him and that his teacher realizes he will need alot of breaks.
Sarah is really loving Kindergarten. She is a little social butterfly! She is always coming home telling me about the happenings of her little school life. Oh, the dramas I hear about! I am hoping though that there will be some more actual work as so far there has mostly been coloring and such in class and Sarah has been doing that for 2 years in preschool. She is ready for so much more.
As for Logan.....he is loving the only child life! And honestly , so am I! Our days are so much quieter and relaxed. We have playgroup on Wednesdays and storyhour on Fridays. The rest of the week is open. Eventually we will be going in once a week to volunteer in Sarah's class. Logan will spend all of his time at the sand table I am sure!!
The biggest thing that I am dealing with right now is the argument in our town about whether or not to designate 1 high school for our students or to continue allowing choice to our students. I am for choice! I do not like the high school that the school board is "looking" at and would move out of town before sending my child there. So I am helping to organize a group of town residents to keep our school choice alive. We will be meeting tomorrow to organize our thoughts as the town forum will be on Tuesday night. I think that some of the school board will be surprised at how much opposition there is to this issue!
Well I hope you all didn't find this too boring. Here are a few pictures from the past few weeks....enjoy!!
