Gotta Brag & Prayer Request

Brag Moment:

When you have a child with special needs, you REALLY celebrate the accomplishments! Well, today was Cody's year IEP meeting to discuss if his goals were met this year and to create new goals. Last year's goals were more behavioral and adaptive. For second grade, his goals are more academic and I am so excited about them!

His special education teacher just enjoys him so much! It's such a good feeling and relief when you know that the professionals really care and enjoy your child! She said that Cody can confidently read 81 out of 100 Fry sight words! Amazing! Last year, he was reading 20 - 30 sight words. He is also reading all color and number words plus more words that are not on any list. Just the other day, I was working with Carleigh on her "All About Me" book since she is Star Student of the Week this week. Cody came over and read all the words on the front cover!

His teachers and therapists said that he has quite an interest with words and loves to read. (Like his momma no doubt!) And he is now successfully cutting with scissors. Now if he could fine tune that writing....he would be in excellent shape! Yay! So happy about my little man! He makes me so proud and goes to show that he can accomplish ANYTHING he puts his mind to!

Prayer Request:

Carleigh has to have an ultra-sound Monday and another more extensive (and uncomfortable) test next Monday morning. The pediatrician and I are both concerned about a few things. However, I am really hoping that these tests do not show anything!! My mommy heart is so concerned for her!
