Look at me...the slacker!

I apologize for those of you that have tried to contact me at the e-mail address that obviously does not work anymore. I didn't check it for an extended period of time, and now I can't get in to that account. I also can't log in to the website I have on Tripod. I would love to update everything, and I actually wish I had kept all of this updated. My crazy life got in the way though.

Garrett is now 7 years old and in 2nd grade. He spends about 40% of his day in the resource room at school, but he seems to really thrive there. It is him, one other student, and the special ed teacher. He loves all the attention! It is very obvious to me how different he is from the typical 2nd graders, and while I find myself getting broken hearted about it at times, I also have to remind myself that he's able to be in a regular classroom for part of his day even though he's so different. He enjoys school and is continuing to make progress in all areas. He is signficantly behind in academics, but he is loving, has an infectious laugh, willingly eats the food that is put in front of him (even vegetables!), loves to drink water, and is usually very laid back about everything.

I'll be back later with more. I promise!
