School is almost out!!

Joey is almost out of Kindergarten. It is so hard to believe that his first year is almost over. Looking at all he has learned is just amazing to me. It at times, has been a tough year. Learning he has ADHD is the hardest to work on. It just seemed no matter what we did, there was such a tiny change. I am thankful that he was put on the right medicine the first time. We didn't have to try a few until it was right. We are thankful to Miss Robinson that she worked with us. She has taught him so much, and he really loves her. She is a very positive teacher, and we will miss her.


He has came so far this year. Learning how to write, count, and read. He is a great reader, he loves to read. His math, he is able to add and subtract up to the sum or difference of 20. His writing is much easier to read now. The letter in his name face the correct way, most of the time.


Cute little poem about the Kindergarten class. He is very cute to watch say it. He isn't able to snap, so he makes a popping noise with his mouth.

My little boy is not so little any longer. The baby years are gone. I look forward to all the new adventures we will go on from here. My sweet boy, Joey, I loved you then, I love you now, I love you always!! How do you suppose of all the little boys I got the most special one. I'm so proud of you, and so proud to be your Mommy!!

Almost done!!

Joey is about finished with school, last day June 3. Although he has summer school starting June 8. He is taking a Lego building class. He is very excited about it. I'm not to excited about the time, 7:30 am - 12:00pm. We have about a 15 minute drive to the school. Ha Ha, I thought he was hard to wake up at 7:00am not looking forward to waking him up at 6:00am!!

I know this is Joey's blog, but I wanted to share a few pictures of mine and Leon's bed. It isn't finished, the frame needs to be repainted white. I think I want to put vines and flowers all the way around the frame. I was getting an idea of what it would look like. One of these days I will get my quilt done. It matches the blue and white flower pillow.

































I cut out pictures and put them under the glass.

The week comes to a nasty end!



Oh where to begin with this week! Well Cinco De Mayo went out with a big bang, in Joey's school. They had a 50 foot section of ceiling come down at a fundraiser, believe it or not. No one hurt!! The thought was maybe because of all the rain we have gotten. However it is due to old building and the wrong nails used back in 1930!!

Oh well, school will be ready to have students back on Monday. They have gone to a church near by. Made me wonder what "non-believers" thought of that. Wednesday Joey did not want to go to school. He was a little scared. He did go and finished the week. Such a brave little guy.

Thursday he had a growth hormone doctor appointment. He grew 1 and 1/3 inches in 6 months. Not sure on the weight, but he has lost some. Due to the Concerta, he is not eating very much. Pushing veggie/fruit drinks, lots of fruit, carb and protein foods I can combine. Peanut butter and whole wheat bagel. He still will eat his favorite peanut butter, banana wrap.


So I know your thinking this is a picture of night time. NO!!! It was 8:15am, yes, this morning. We had tornadoes all around us. We were safe and everything fine here. Just a few branches, and a bunch of leaves. When it was all over, it was a sunny warm day.

We are looking forward to a quiet weekend!!
