First Day of Second Grade

Bro had a great first day back at school. We are so excited about all of new things he is going to learn! He is already starting the new year off with a bang by doing a great job on some assessments to see how much he retained from the 2 months of summer! I am very proud of him! He also read me one of his stories for my bedtime story tonight which always makes me smile!!!

This is a pic of Bro Man standing "all by myself" and we are delighted!!!!!!!!!! It definitely has been a long time coming along with a great deal of blood, sweat, and tears!

Happy New School Year

why???

i am getting really irritated at the fact that i have posted like 5 blogs and none of them posted... irritating!!

Difficulties....

We all have difficulties! Depending on how you choose to rise above or fall down will determine your life and how you spend your days. Are you going to just lay down in your troubles or rise up and face difficulty head on...so i am off to try to achieve running a 10K. My Goal is to be able to run in the HObble Gobble 5 mile on Thanksgiving Day for ARC..

Summer 2011..

Interesting and Busy would pretty much sum up summer of 2011! We are on our last summer vacation of 2011... ARC summer adventures camp took up 5 weeks of traveling back and forth to Hattiesburg for Bro to enjoy a leisure fun filled camp for special needs children/adults as well as help tons of teenagers with community service to learn more about our needs kids. Awareness that are kids are "Different but NOT LESS" is all I can hope for! Brodie was kidnapped from the ARC as we (me and Chris) tried to find "RANSOM MONEY"... we were successful with everyones help to get Brodie released and make him a king at the parade/ceremony! We had a wonderful time and is a great program and so thankful we were able to find ARC.

Brodie has been doing a few respites with ARC and doing better each time he goes. His behavior seems to be doing better in the last 6 months so that is awesome in itself because it is not the most pleasant feeling to get the hell beat out of you! lol

We will be at the same school this year and hoping for a great year... Please be in prayer for Brodie as he starts this year! I have big dream of progression this year and I would really appreciate you prayer during this year. Specifically praying for reading skills to advance, understanding of containing his behavior and acting out with aggression, and his walking! Please join me daily in this walk!!!

Brodie just read his story, THE LAMP, to me which was 14 pages (about 12 different words). WoW!!! I am so excited and proud of him! YEP... I think I will go cry! HA
He even got a WOW sticker at school today for writing his name with minimal assistance.

We have just recently held his IEP for next year and I am so thrilled and excited about his new goals that we will be working toward!

Brodie is so blessed to have such an awesome teacher that truly cares about each one of her kids and the progress they make. She is always focusing on how she can make it better or what ways will help them learn, comprehend, and apply every single concept and goal.

What a great way to end the day.... mama and daddy getting a bedtime story read to them from their best friend, BRODIE MOSS!!!

Lots of fun and exciting things going on around here....

Brodie was principal for a day at Thames...

He had the best time. He was allowed to go into the rooms and tell them "I am the Boss" he even fired Mrs. Stacy (lol) He was able to talk on the intercom and dismiss school and getting ready for the buses.

Mom raced her first 5k. No more Excuses and No more saying "I Can't" those are her 2 mottos.
