Season 2, Episode 1

Ya know when you are waiting for you favorite show to come back on after months of being forced to sit through horrible tv selections?  Yeah, I would like to think that is where we are at in my little corner of the world of blogging.

It's been a while.

A lot has gone on.

Time to regroup.

And by regroup, I mean make some changes ... i.e. try not to be so boring.


First thing, I would like to change my kiddos' names.
Not for real, but here in blogland.  I love their names and would never really change them ... besides, I think the hubs might have an issue if I did that.
For now on P1 will be Bugger, and P2 will be Zilla.
Yes, they may be strange names, but they are better than numbers I think.

So it is September, and summer is over.  It was a good summer.  We managed to get away some, which I really enjoyed.  Jersey shore for a week was awesome and relaxing, Smithville for a day was fun, and Myrtle Beach for a long weekend was too short.

But the end of summer means fun things ahead.

Bugger is 2-1/2 now (31 months actually), and we are begining to think about her 3 year old transfer from Early Intervention to Preschool and inclusion vs self-contained and if the district will evaluate her for her best interest and needs or for their own financial interest.  We shall see.  And the hubby and I are ready to advocate for her and demand whatever she needs.
We have an opportunity to get her in to an inclusion preschool program now.  I am excited to see how she does, and what this will mean for the 3 year old transition process. We are not "in" yet, but almost.  We have go for the tour and see how she and the school fit together, and then update her IFSP.  She will be going 2 days/week 9-11:30.  It's going to be strange sending my baby off to school!   But I am sure she is going to love it and do just fine.

Zilla is 10 months old now.  We're getting so close to her big birthday bash.  I am still in denial that this time has just flown by. She's getting around, and in to so much lately.  She can get anywhere she wants by either crawling or cruising the furniture, and she looks like she wants to just take off, which makes me super nervous! She is just amazing and tries to be so independent already.

I am going crazy with all the things I am involved with right now.  I am on the committee with our local Down Syndrome group for the annual fundraiser.  And of course it wouldn't be enough just to be on the committee, I am handling the ads for the program book.  And then we have our local Buddy Walk coming up on Oct 2nd.  We have formed a team to walk with Bugger's playgroup families.  I am currently in the process of tracking down shirt sizes for all of our walkers to make sure we get them in time for the walk. My home party biz is getting ready to take back off for the holiday season which means lots of craft/vendor fairs coming up as well as parties.  And the hubby and I are in the process of figuring out the massive remodels we need to do to make our house more functional for all of us.
Fun Fun!

So, we are back ... and I am making a promise to keep things more up to date ... as long as Bugger and Zilla allow me the time and fingers to type.
