The best laid plans. That is the theme for this week. I had big plans - God had other ones. Princess M came down with a nasty cold over the last weekend and gave us some temper tantrums. Then Princess E and I ended up with the same thing. We spent the last two days of this week of school tired, cranky and skipping anything unnecessary.
Princess E - 6th Grade - Dialectic

We have reached a block in the road that is tying in speech therapy and reading. Princess L's speech therapist wants us to have her tested with an audiologist for hearing loss. Not that she cannot hear sounds - she can do that fine, but that she is not interpreting those sounds as they are. If it was only her speaking certain sounds incorrectly, I'd say no big deal - she'll grow out of that. But it is causing problems with her reading and spelling also. So we do need to look at what is going on. I'm not sure what to hope for. In all honest, I just want the quick fix. But, God will show us the way through this in His time. I just need to learn patience.
Princess M - PreTOGger
As I said, this little one had a bad cold. Every few minutes someone would have to chase her down to wipe her nose before she wiped it on her sleeve. It left her cranky and tired. (I know that because I got the same cold and I feel the same way.)
This next week will have my mom visiting us from NC. We are still doing school, though the princesses are going to try to get as much done over the weekend as they can.
