It's been a very long time since I've updated. It's kind of intimidating to start back up again with such a lapse of time.

Olivia is now 11 and I'd like to say life has gotten easier here but we actually have seen the worst behavior ever last Fall/Winter. That was the turning point. Her behavior turned dangerous hitting and striking out to her helper and myself and her little sister. We took her to the hospital emergency room twice. There's another post about that coming.

As for this summer she's been very busy this year and much more in control of her behavior although there are some setbacks.

She participated in our town's summer recreation program again, summer school otherwise know around here as EYS (extended year services), and then went away for a week to Girl Scout camp (which she got for FREE by selling 250 boxes of cookies and completing nine (9)other tasks). She's been back a full week this Saturday. The transition back into the home and routine has been a bit hairy not to mention a couple of weeks before camp when she seem to revert back to last fall/winters behavior. We are hoping for her behavior to slowly improve as she gets back into being at home as she decompresses from the pressure of being focused on herself and surroundings at camp.


We are now getting anxious for school to start as our summer plans have come to an end.
Both girls have signed up for cheer leading this fall and girl scouts will be starting up again soon with the girls in different troops this year. Yea! More stress for me!
