Well, for the second morning in a row – Miss Abby woke up in a splendid mood! She decided she wanted to wake up to High School Musical’s We’re All In This Together this morning and by the time I got back there, she was sitting up in her bed JAMMIN’! Another day that she [...]

The other night, Abby and I talked about her ADHD medicine. We gave it to her all weekend and had a great weekend… with only minor fussing and arguing on all parts. Her medicine just helps regulate her personality – not only at school (helping her concentrate), but at home by helping her to be [...]

We got a letter from the school board yesterday. Of course we’re a bit apprehensive, but upon opening it – we’re shocked, delighted and amazed. They’re sending us a letter saying that Abby has ELIGIBLE FOR THE GIFTED PROGRAM and we need to fill out this form and bring her for further testing to get [...]

I left work a bit early yesterday because I was not feeling too well and went straight to St. Mark to pick Abby up. I figured we could lay on the couch and watch a movie (probably one of the High School Musicals). Anyway, Abby wanted to get her homework done first (SHOCKER). She had [...]

As you may remember, we had Abby on the 20mg of Ritalin (6-8 hour time release), but that wasn’t working quite long enough. She was having a bit of trouble after school, so we switched her to the Metadate 10 hour. We started her out on 10mg, but realized that wasn’t doing what we wanted [...]

I would like to add an addendum to last night’s post. Abby woke up this morning in a great mood! She came in the kitchen about 7:25 as I was fixing her medicine and some apple juice to take back to her. I decided to give it to her as I woke her up… to [...]

Look how cute and happy Abby looks standing on the end of the dock at the marina today! We were finishing up feeding the ducks and the sun was on her back and the wind picked up her hair in the playful way… I couldn’t resist snapping away with the camera (which I happened [...]

so, we had our second soccer game today and Miss Abby scored 3 whole goals! Woohoo! The other team was RUTHLESS (their coach is a German bulldog… NO KIDDING)! Anyway, she scored 1 goal in the first half and 2 goals in the second half! More impressive than that – she played the ENTIRE second [...]

Here’s a picture of Abby’s cute little lunch on Friday… her last day of the week (Good Report Day – WOOHOO). She LOVES bagels and cream cheese and strawberries, so I’ll toast the bagel lightly before I put it in her lunch. I also found this cute little container for the cream cheese. I know [...]
