Well, I must say that there isn't much to say Olivia has been awesome. Very happy and cheerful. She just loves the first few weeks of school. I am concerned with October coming up as that always seems to be the time of her down turn behavior. But we are all enjoying this sunshiny behavior to its fullest issuing as many compliments as possible hoping that will hold off any up coming storms.

She started cheering last week and had her first game on Sunday which she was amazing at!

The game was delayed due to unforeseen circumstances So they were unable to start cheering until after 45 minutes to an hour of our arrival. Olivia was picked to be captain for the first half of the game and did awesome at it! It was surprising considering at practice she didn't follow thru with the whole cheer and would fizzle out. We have been doing a lot of practicing with Olivia's helper and her little sister who is also on the same squad.

This month has been amazing and I do seriously hope it will continue. My next entry will probably be about Olivia's visit with her psychiatrist. I'm anxious to see what comes of that.  : p

Well, we didn't get to see the psychiatrist last month because Olivia's bio dad decided he wanted to see her and that was more important then trying to get her assessed.We now we have to wait until the end of this month. I so love the waiting for doctors appointments--NOT!

She actually just started back to school today. I sent her with a letter of introduction since I have not been able to get in contact with Olivia's new classroom teacher which worries me a bit. I do admit I haven't been very focused on getting in touch there's been to much stuff going on at home.What with Olivia's lack of enthusiasm for cheering which she insists she really wants to do. This has been on my mind as this lack of enthusiasm seems to cover more than just cheering but pretty much everything use to excite and animate her. I can't help but wonder if she suffers from depression because nothing comes easy for her compared to her little sister who is her polar opposite. It would explain why she doesn't even bother trying. Just one more thing to chalk up to her therapist and psychiatrist. Here's hoping I don't have to call back to get in to see the psychiatrist sooner then the end of the month. My suspicion is that she's just gonna try and up Olivia's RX and not bother trying to assess her. So I am not eager to head back there.
