Gliding into the weekend

Hanna likes to bait John, in a playful sort of way. She'll get some toy that she knows he might like, she'll tell him "Say 'I want that toy'". And he'll say it, and then she'll say "No, you can't have it." She's a little minx.

The other night as I was saying good night to John, I asked him what he was going to dream about, and he thought for a moment, then said "I'll dream about having fun with you." Awwwwww, sniff. Last night then, he said he'd dream about having fun with Mommy.

Still looking at options for John and school this fall. A possibility is kindergarten at a public school, so he could get some special assistance from the school district. Apparently we live in a good district for that sort of thing. There'd be bus questions though, how he'd get on and off the bus. If we did that the kids might go to Jessica's house, as her kids go, and they could all go on the bus as a group. So, they wouldn't go to Sue's house in that scenario. I'd hate to see that happen, Sue has been so good to us. They would probably still go to Sue's once in awhile.

Another option is no school at all this year, just take some of the pressure off him by having him wait another year. We'll know more after talking to the school district, which will be soon I hope, and John has an appt at the OT clinic next Tuesday.

Rhonda went by the school yesterday. It's in a residential neighborhood, west of 65 and south of 109th. The kids went with. John seemed to like the big playground. Hanna brought a black dog or bear or something they got from a rummage sale. She told the gals at the school that it was a Dalmatian. Well, being all black it didn't look much like a Dalmatian, so Hanna said it was covered in soot. (In 101 Dalmatians, the dogs hide themselves by covering themselves in soot.)

An interesting article here on the humble apple.

And finally, a little Middle East humor.
