It's that time of the year again! Andrew loves to take the boys ice fishing (one at a time) on my brother's pond. The boys can catch 20-30 fish in about an hour so it's great fun for them.
As far as an update, January has felt like catch up time after the hectic December we had due to our COVID experience.
Hopefully February will feel like we are more back into our normal groove. That's my hope!
In regards to the boys' school, we decided to put them back in school for mornings only after the new year. Additionally, we have now decided they will attend for the full day on Tuesdays. Just a few baby steps towards more of a regular school experience for them.
We also are setting Ben up to have speech therapy outside of his school speech therapy. Jonah has been receiving this extra speech for the past few years, but we hadn't pursued it for Ben yet. However, now that we realize what a command he has of the English language after only being here 4 1/2 years, we think it's time to up the ante on how he pronounces his words. He has soooo much to say (and command ☺), but he is not always easily understood by people outside of his immediate core group. Hopefully with this added speech therapy, his pronunciation will become more clear and understandable. We are excited for Ben!
One thing I am not looking forward to for the boys or for me is their wonderful special ed teacher will be going on maternity leave in March. The boys will miss her, and Ben, in particular, will take a bit to warm up to her substitute teacher. However, to make things harder and sadder, this is their last year with this teacher because next year the boys are in MIDDLE SCHOOL! Can you believe that? We are going to miss their dear "honey" soooo much. The boys pronounce her last name as "honey"- isn't that sweet? We owe soooo much of their success to her hardwork and dedication to our two goofballs!
