I think he does some, but it is NOT a calming force. It is the only thing he lies to me about, the main thing that has caused fights at the two afterschools.
I already know what I'm gonna call her. Got a name all picked out...

Thank goodness for Grace that you and K know the ropes already, that'll be an enormous extra help.
I hope mac finds more effective coping techniques than diversion into the DS.

Ugh, ita, that blows.
My god, I can't believe he's that big!
HA! I know. His daycare person and I were talking and she said, it's hard to believe that this verbal and bossy little guy was the same one who came to her on oxygen and monitors.
What does IEP stand for?
Amy beat me to it. It's a special ed thing. But it's also a seriously litigious area of the school district's world and they do not want to be taken to court because of IDEA and ADA.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Grace? Coming home this May!
Yayayayayayay!!! That is so exciting!
msbelle, I am so sorry. Taking away the DS will probably be horrible, but it sounds like the right thing.
ION, I am going to Bacon Fest [link] tomorrow (well, leaving tomorrow, the festival is Sat.) In order to get in the mood, I decided to make Bacon, Toffee, Chocolate cupcakes with maple cream cheese frosting. [link]
Dear. Me. So good. Although, if I were to make it again, I'd add another strip of bacon.

Because books.
Anybody watching skating? This is probably a dumb question, but what happened to pairs?

Well, I think the district will be pissed with us, mostly. I sent back the request for testing to the school via school mail, which is a big tell. And I said that a psychologist is fine to do all the testing except for motorsensory stuff which has to be an OT, as I've requested. That may delay this process. But they have to do it within 90 days of the request and it's almost been that.
We might bring K's union rep who is a special ed teacher to sit in on the IEP with us because he's a blowhard and will advocate for Grace.

ChiKat, so the cupcakes work. The toffee and the maple I can totally see. The bacon confuses me and I LOVE bacon.

Wow, I completely missed that.

They do work. The salty of the bacon accents the toffee and chocolate. I do think there's not enough of the salty which is why I'd add another strip of bacon. The recipe calls for 3 1/2 strips. I put in 4. Next time, 5. Keeping it at 4 make it more subtle.
