Catch Up

Things have been crazy!!  I need to post here more. 

Since May, time just has been getting away from me.  We had Noah's 14th birthday at the end of April.  Noah had Travel soccer from end of April to the beginning of June.  Ash had her after school program I picked her up from and 2 of those night we had soccer.  So, right from there to soccer!  Ashleigh's 18th birthday and her party.  Ashleigh did 4 weeks in a camp where she learned work experience.  We dropped her off on Sunday nights and picked her up Friday afternoon.  Noah did a summer soccer camp of 4 days to work on his ball control skills, which he loved.  Storm is growing so much.  Faster than Zeus or Bolt ever did.  She is taller than Bolt and he is 6 years old.  Storm turned a year on September 1st.  

In August, Noah had soccer tryouts and made the JV soccer team at his school. Yea!!  We have been exhausted. Soccer is 5-6 days a week. Practice are 3 days. Game are either 2 or 3 days. Most times 3 games a week!!  ⚽️⚽️  School is going well for Noah.  He is a 9th grader.  We have a new system to see everything and all 3 kids are in it.  It is something completely new for Ashleigh.  I never had this with her before.

Ethan has a funny 😆 male teacher. A first for him!  Ethan loves his teacher.  Ethan is a 4th grader now.  This will be Ethan's last year at our elementary school before he goes to the Middle School where he will be for 2 years.

Ashleigh has Vo tech this year for Advertising Design and she loves it. The teachers were worried about her attending Vo tech but she is doing great. I think we will have an issue when it starts snowing or icy. I am sure the teachers will have me crap about her walking over to the Vo tech building. Mama bear will make an appearance. Before school started, I had a talk about one aide with her teacher. He sings. Ashleigh hates when he did that. It isn’t once a day, but constantly during the school day. I found out that he has been told last school year. Her teacher was very understanding. The one lady from Special Education  called me, too. I told both the teacher and the Special Education lady that if this doesn’t stop, I will call a meeting. I’m not going to let it go. Ashleigh gets very stressed. She is getting stress headaches. What I don’t get is why hasn’t he listened to Ashleigh when she says “stop, you are stressing me out”. She advocated for herself- Something we have been working on. The only reason I’m involved is because this aide won’t stop. We are trying to let Ashleigh be independent and ask for help when she needs it.
