Taylor Moving, Erin’s A’s, & Jorden Learning Sign (Day 302 of 365)
Wednesday, September 22nd 2010
The alarm went off at 5 am this morning…I rolled out of bed and went and laid in bed with Taylor to slowly nudge her to become consious (if you read our blog on a regular basis you will know that she is not the easiest to awake in the morning). After about 10 minutes…she turned to me and said “Mom, I’m moving.” This was news to me! I said, “where?” She quickly responded, “Tennessee”. “Tennessee?, and what are you going to do there?” She said, “To see my Dad, he needs to come here, and doesn’t so I will go there soon..” She continues to tell me that she is mad at me for getting upset with her for getting upset with me the night before. I don’t know where all this came from…but it was refreshing to see her think and advocate for herself. AND no worries, even though she may think it…she isn’t going anywhere. She knew I knew this…that’s why…as she was leaving to get on the bus, she stuck her head back in the house and said “I REALLY am moving!” 
It Just Hit Me (Day 279 of 365)

So…today has been a pretty busy day filled with all the stuff that goes with getting a family ready to go back to school. That includes me! AND…it just hit me a little bit ago.
Fighting For a Life (179 of 365)
Tuesday, May 18th 2010
Well, today was PART 3 of Taylor’s IEP. Taylor’s Teacher of Record scheduled the meeting in the afternoon this time to allow all of the team members to be in attendance (i.e: all related services (Occupational Therapists, Physical Therapist, Speech Therapist, Nurse, Transition Specialist), Special Ed Teacher, Gen Ed Teacher, School District Representative) …however, that means that I only had an hour to be able to meet…since it was during my lunch hour. I left my last school and darted over to Taylor’s High School and ran in that meeting as fast as I could. I had an Advocate attend with me…so I had someone there who also knew the mine and Taylor’s rights to assist me.
