Almost October

Well it's almost October and today is the last day of the second week that 3 out of 4 of us have been in school!

Jaxon is doing well in kindergarten and seems to really enjoy it.  He goes half a day and is always excited to tell me what he did each day.  Right now he's working on reading simple three letter words.  I'm noticing his speech delay more while he's trying to sound out the words than when he carries on a conversation.  I'm hoping this doesn't hinder him from learning to read.  Jaxon started off the year by having me walk him to his classroom, we have now reached the point to where I walk him to his "play ground teacher" (who stands outside to make sure all the kids go inside) and walk back to our car and drive off.  I'm hoping to get him to the point where I drive him up to the curb (where the "play ground teacher" stands) and drop him off by the end of October.

Brycen is Brycen.  He seems to be content in pre-school, 5 half days a week.  His friend Drew is there twice a week, and he seems excited when Drew is there with him.  I think the time away from Mommy and Jaxon is good for him so he can find his own interests apart from us.

My one pre-algebra class is going well!  So far there's no need for a tutor! :)  Matter of fact, I got 100% on my first quiz on Monday!  The really funny thing about my class is that my professor is one of Jaxon's Sunday school teachers and the mom to Jaxon's favorite friend at church!  Plus, I couldn't have asked for a better teacher!  She teaches in a way that I "get" it and I'm hoping to keep her as my professor as I move up in math since she teaches more advanced algebra as well.

I saw my psychiatrist last Friday and since then she's lowered my ani-psychotic meds by half - so far so good!  I'm completely surprised that it's going so well.  I thought with the added stress of school that it wouldn't work and it'd put me over the edge...I'm still waiting for that to happen.  Until then, I'm only taking 20 mg of Geodon once a day!

John is still contracted out to Disney.  And I'm still praying that Disney will hire him directly.  Right now John is carpooling with a friend of mine from Sunday school, who works for Disney, whose mother-in-law watches the boys while I go to class.  It certainly is a small world!

By now the roofs on the barns have been completed and we're anxious to see them!  We saw the half done last weekend, and they looked pretty good if I do say so myself.  Just hoping those metal roofs don't blind people driving down the road!

That's about all that's been going on with us. :)
