Review cont.

Mesa loved school this year.  I only made one trip to the school rather than several like the year before.  She had given herself a bloody nose and was a little too upset.  She came home at least once a week with a sweet note or a picture in her bag from someone in her class.  One girl even came up and gave Mesa a hug and kiss when she saw her at the store.  She absolutely loved her aide this year, Mrs. Stoddard.  She threw a fit one day when her aide wasn't there and she had a substitute.  Mesa has always been able to sense true compassion and kindness.  And I am so happy that Mrs. Stoddard is going to be the librarian at the new special needs school and Mesa will still get to see her.  Mesa has almost outgrown the bath tub because of her long legs.  She has been horseback riding this summer and loves it but comes home quite tired and sore.  I am so excited for the new school being built for all the special needs kids.  They will be getting new equipment and even a swing that will suit Mesa.  She loves when Aaron and I lay in bed with her and cuddle.  She is a wonderful blessing to our family.

 Last but not least, Greyson.  Describing him is difficult.  He is a tazmanian whirlwind of energy, spunk and curiosity.  He actually asked me today how to spell Teradactyl and I don't think that's how you spell it.  He is funny, defiant at times, very smart and has an amazing vocabulary.  He already has great interest in achieving things and wants to be involved in everything.  He wasn't a big fan of preschool this year, I think he just went for the toys.  He still has another 2 years at home before starting kindergarten and I better find something challenging for him to do.  He loves going to gymnastics and has been putting on his soccer cleats and shin guards to run around outside.  He absolutely will not pee outside. Weird!  He hates doing chores so it has become a powerful incentive to behave.  But he is dang adorable and I love his big, brown eyes.
