Long Time Between Posts

I have not posted for a long time. Things have been crazy. Mountains of paperwork at school: ungraded papers, 8-10 pages documents for each child in tutoring or getting help of any kind outside the classroom, lesson plans, etc. Since my last post, Emma has been diagnosed as dyslexic. I was not upset. Relieved really, since I knew something was wrong. It helps to know what the concern actually is. She is doing great. She is now making really good grades in reading and language arts. She struggles with symbols such as the alphabet, plus and minus, etc. It is amazing how far she has come this year. She has learned so much. The dyslexic teacher at West is wonderful. I am also excited to hear my baby beginning to read. She is reading simple text books and sounding out all kinds of words. Tonight she even sounded out the word suddenly! So now in addition to all the books I am currently reading on ADD. I have added a couple of dyslexia books. So much for the Other Boleyn Girl that I was reading. As for the ADD, Emma is doing great there too. She is talking to teachers, going into the school cafeteria to eat breakfast by herself, petting dogs, etc. God is good and he is taking care of her when I can not. Thank you, Lord.
