I have learned that being a parent with a disability can create some unusual and sometimes humorous situations. This blogger is available for hire!

Success

 Yesterday I had an amazing day at work. After working and struggling for months, my student finally crossed a light controlled intersection independently and without tears! Overcoming her own fears about walking independently has been an obstacle that we have been chipping away at throughout the year. I feel like yesterday she knocked a hole through the bolder and sees a glimmer of an independent future. 

Last night I helped Robby enroll in the college course portion of the Normandy Academy experience, allowing him to earn 3 college credits. He spoke with his advisor earlier this Spring about the course and transferring the credits into his program. Robby's advisor seemed to feel that the credits will count towards one of his Historical Preservation courses. Hopefully the Registrar will see his logic and agree to the swap, because right now my Koopa is on Cloud 9 with the prospect of eliminating Architecture from his schedule next semester.

While I was busy helping Robby, Timmy was on the swings or riding his bike through the yard. I love seeing and hearing him playing outside. I feel badly for not recognizing how much he missed his swing set, but I am going to focus on his joy that it is now in place. 

Today will again be busy, but the hours go a little faster when the skies are so bright and the temperatures are perfect. Have a great day!
