Twin's Game

Oh, what a short night last night. We went to the Minnesota Twins game last night with Northern Voices, the oral deaf school she attended. She had a blast hanging out with her friends at the game and of course Mom enjoyed catching up with all the Moms and teachers that came. And then Allen and Daniel were disappointed because we lost the game 10-1, which of course I lost track of. But at the end of it all everyone had a great time. My recommendation for the next time is not to let her fill up on pop and cotton candy though. We got home at 11:30 last night and she was crazy and a jabber box up until about 11 or 11:15 in the car!! We have about a 1.5-2 hour drive home. She was creating her own songs, playing "Simon Says", and just talking a mile a minute. She wore Mom out in about 1/2 an hour!!!

We will see how today goes for her because this has been a major emotional rollercoaster for her. She has realized that school is done and that has made her a little sad. Yesterday she received her "graduation" present from her daycare-they only have kids up to school age so she will have to switch come the Fall and I think is starting to understand the end is coming and since it isn't her personality to really be down or sad when this all happens she just becomes more edgy and will cry more often over little things.

I think we have figured out the glasses now and some day when she is home we are going to try to lose the rubber bands. I have found that if I place her bow of the glasses on the outside of the ear hook they tend to hold everything in place. The rubber bands are working now but once school starts we will have to change the ear hooks daily so this puts a lot of stress on the bands so they have been breaking every couple of days.

We had her meeting with the new Kindergarten staff on Tuesday and this went very well. We just have some final work to be done on her IEP before the end of the year and figure out where she is going to do her ESY and we are done for the year!! Annika came to the meeting to met everyone but then was able to head off to the playground with her older brother so she could have fun while all the adults had a conversation about her. This was not a meeting that she would have wanted to sit through or one that I would have wanted her to be at. Not that anything bad was said just a lot of information about her that she doesn't need to hear at this time.

School is winding down around here and the weather is finally starting to look like we might see some Spring weather before the Summer season starts. Finally!!! If you live in Minnesota you know exactly what I am saying.

Gotta run it is time to awaken the "princess" which should be fun because she told me last night that she would "wake up" at daycare. That means we don't want to "wake up" at home but we need to get dressed for the day and get the implants on.
