Spring is done and the flowers are up. Some are already gone (irises and peonies) to the point I wonder if they were even there. Q is still struggling and he has begun some medication to assist him. Between helping him and getting my student teaching done I can't believe it is already June! Due to issues at school, Q will be going to a special school next fall that will focus (ha ha as it is called FOCUS) on helping him learn how to deal with his ODD. During the summer though I am going to make sure he learned all that he should have in 3rd grade. This is due to the amount of time he missed being in a traditional classroom. It's been a hard road so far and I am sure there will be many more bumps along the way for him and I. It's like relearning who your child is some days. I have tons to learn and everyday I am handed more information it seems to read.
Along with summer is an opportunity to relax a bit. I am working part time at a fabric store (I am not spending me entire paycheck) and along with teaching Q I am taking him to the pool and trying to make sure we stay active. Healthier food choices are being encouraged and for once it is not a battle for him to "try" something new. Newest things are mangoes and radishes. He is still finding meat difficult if it isn't pre processed but I am trying to stay away from chicken nuggets and especially hot dogs. It's all in the mix for summertime. Gotta catch a game at the I-Cubs this summer and our science lesson is going to go to the zoo to see the dinosaur exhibit in the morning. Can't wait!

What?! A fabric store?! Sounds like a dangerous combination, but it also sounds like a blast :) What are those gorgeous flowers?? I feel the same way about our spring flowers -- I blinked and they were gone.
Your summer plans for Q sound awesome. I wish I could be there to cook w/ you! Love the post. Miss you lots.
Awesome blog - love the look :D and great post. I totally understand what you mean about the ODD - I am still learning all I can and changing dietary staples - fresh, less processed...unfortunately, he loves hot dogs :( so one step at a time. I also noticed my son (C ) cannot eat most 'no name' brands due to food allergies...who knew...
Anyway hang in there :) and let me know if you would like to post your 'story' on my little corner of the world :) I welcome your input!
