more pictures to add

so they arent great ones I should probably read my intruction book my camera came with.....when I got it..........6 months AGO lol! anyway will post those in a bit.

The boys had conferences this wk and did pretty good, Ethan needs work on some letters and sounds, not surprising because neither of us had really worked with him prior to kdg but he is doing great! He is a smart kid.

What can I say about lil Owie? He has made some great strides since starting in his new school as well, he will sit up unassisted for long periods of time, we have to sit him up but he stays WOOHOO! He has also really done well as far as eating, he takes the plate and licks the food off what an accomplishment! I know alot of people dont understand (inlaws and my own father) and think I should just be able to make him eat ummm doesnt work that way he has oral aversion people ya cant shove food in their mouths and expect them to eat grrr! Anyway he is doing some wonderful things he says mama,dada,ga I think thats for go because he leads me to where I hang my keys and lifts my hand lol what a guy! He says baba but Im not sure what he means by that one and last night Rich said Owen was working hard to make a word then clapped his hands and said "ap" now that is a major deal in our house!
Oh alex got her grade card and I am happy to say she is actually working hard yipppeee! she got one d- but the rest a's and b's for a GPA of 3.14! GO GIRL

I am down to one doggie now, The Great Oscar is all I have left, Rich had me find homes for my doxie's I have had them since they were 8 wks old and I am sad but I guess it's best as I didnt have alot of extra time to spend with them at least Im telling myself its best.

My SIL'S friend has a girl who is in a wheelchair, she just got a new one since she is growing (GOOO S!) Anyway, her mom is going to give us her old motorized chair its pink I hope Owen doesnt mind lol anyway we are going to just use it around here to see if Owen can manuver it. How fun that will be! I was told basically to forget the idea that Dr. K (from the cp clinic) will approve a gait trainer for Owen sooo I think we will try and see if we can get him a Dynamic Stander instead....Im not giving up totally but Im not sure anymore if now is the right time for that. I just want him to walk sooo bad! I think he will take a few steps at some point,for now tho I will be happy with the things he is doing!

I think that is enough for now although I think I forgot something lol!
Best,
Kirsten
