Things are going well

Well, everyone keeps asking how Sutton is doing. She is doing so well! She is really holding it together at the school. They know and we know that she will blow up sooner or later. We are shocked she has held on for this long. She must like it a lot to keep a stiff upper lip and not be getting mad at anyone!

It’s been hard to have her gone, but on the other hand my son and I are having a great time. He is really coming out of his shell. He is able to play and just have fun and doesn’t have to worry what’s going on between mom and sister anymore. I can see him relaxing.

I am doing well also. Even though I miss her, I know she is being very well taken care of, is in good nurturing hands and that everyone is prepared for her difficult times. In fact they are waiting with baited breath for her to get mad or have some feelings she is willing to express so they can get started on the path of working with her issues. They are working with her on boundaries (yeah! She doesn’t have any!) and are beginning to not let her just be happy and have a smile on all the time, but pushing her to react to things that should upset her.

We are about to leave on our trip to Disney World. It will be weird to go without her but Jack and I should have fun while Dad is working at a trade show. Jack and I both will celebrate our birthdays at Disney World! I hope Mickey will give me a kiss.

I am beginning to think about planning for next year’s homeschooling with Jack. It will be interesting to just have one child to deal with. We should get though first grade quite well!
