Jason says PIZZA!!!

Jason said Pizza again tonight. I ran up to my Mom's for a minute and my brother was there with a his kids and a Pizza. Jason climbed up to the counter and said "Pizza".

I was floored. He said a word more then once!!!! I asked Jeff if Jason could have a piece, because if the boy is going to ask for it he GETS IT!

Then we ran to Little Ceasars to pick up dinner. I opened the van door and opened the pizza box. Brett filmed it. It's not as crystal clear as it was at my Mom's but he said another WORD!!!!

Braille Challenge

The girls had their Braille Challenge today. I dropped them off at 9:00am at the blind center and then came back to see what they earned at about 2:00 pm. Samantha and Tori were AWESOME! They got along and had a great time after their testing.

Tori received 1st place in Braille Spelling in her group, and 2nd place in Reading Comprehension in her group.

Samantha got two Honorable Mentions in Braille Spelling and Reading Comprehension in her group.

They have learned so much over this year it's amazing. We also were able to pick up a lot of free Braille books. And let me tell you those puppies aren't cheep! =)

There were quite a few NEWS crews here are the links to their stories that I've found so far. Their was actually video cameras there so if I find a news report on it I'll post it at another time.

Brett's Back

Brett went to the chiropractor on Friday and Saturday of last week. He blogged about it HERE.

Today he went to Physical Therapy and she gave him some exercises to help him to strengthen his core. She also said she didn't want him to do any squats right now as well as any weight lifting over his head. Hopefully he'll be feeling better now!!!

Schedule

The Principal stopped me in the hall today, and wanted to know if it would be OK for me to work in the morning. I advised him that the morning would be more preferable, because my son is in Pre-school in the morning.

He said the district wanted me to change so he would let me know when the schedule with change.

WooHoo!!!!

Family Night

Monday night we spent with Grandma and Grandpa Siddoway. None of us had seen Megamind so we watched it with them. I'm so grateful for the time that they are giving our family. Since they are watching Jason everyday while I'm working, we are seeing an awful lot of them. I'm sure they will be sick of seeing us, but for now they still let us in the door. =)
