Summer school fun!

Morgan had been enjoying summer school. She has been getting good reports. She got "great day" and "compliant" and "playing well with others". She also has been enjoying the bus rides. They say she sits so well. She has this week and then she gets a two week break. We had a busy weekend, and Morgan got to tag along. I have decided that she will go with us ( if our nurse isn't available) rather than me just stayig home with her. We took her to Wills baseball tournament. It was tiring to keep up with her, but so worth it. And looking back on the day, she really did better than she has before. She wasn't as agitated and was actually pretty happy as long as we kept her moving. It was so nice to be able to go and do something as a family. God is good!!

Busy summer

Morgan started summer school last week. She goes three days a week from 8-12. She then rides the bus out to our house where the nurse meets her and stays with her until I get home from work. There are only 2-3 kids in the summer program and two teachers, so it's a good ratio! Thy are working on signing with her and rewarding for good behavior. I heard back from ABA services, and they will start in September. I know the summer will go fast. I am just so ready to get started. Something new Morgan started last week: she goes and gets her shoe and hands it to you when you ask her to! She understands what you say and follows the command! She also is highly motivated by the fact that she gets to go outside afterwards!

Morgans first camp

This weekend, Morgan will be going to a camp for special needs children, in Buda, a town just outside of Austin. My wonderful sister in law found it for us. They keep the kids for two nights and have a variety of actives for them to do. Each child has a volunteer, so it is one on one. However, Morgan gets to have two helpers because she is one active little girl! There will be nurses there and child care specialists. And all staff and volunteers must be Christians! So thank you for your prayers for our strength to leave Morgan for two nights and for Morgan, that she will not be scared being away from her home and family. We will not be far, but are planning to have a fun trip to San Antonio on Saturday to spend some special time with Will. We are so thankful for the awesome people who have organized such a special camp for our child. What a blessing. We pray she will have a great time and we pray for all those involved with her care this weekend.
