Quarantine

Kiana has been out of school for 2 weeks now. It has been really hard for her with all the changes and cancellations that have been going on for the last few weeks. On Wednesday she will start doing her schooling on the computer and have video meetings with teachers. I am hoping that she does OK with this new normal but it may take sometime for her to adjust to.  Change has always been hard on her and school has always been the one thing that was consistent no matter what.

Kiana

I cant believe that it's been over 3 years since I posted the last update. A lot has happened since the last update. Kiana is now in 6th grade and performing in the school musical.

Update

Kiana is doing well. She has now finished 2nd grade and is moving on to 3rd grade. She loved her teachers this year and they adored her too.  This year was quite eventful for her. Over spring break she broke her leg so she was unable to participate in PE or play during recess untilthe last week of school. Next year is going to be a big change for kiana as her favorite teacher is leaving. Hopefully her replacement will be almost as good. Kiana loves singing and may join the school chorus next year.  She also loves to swim and will hopefully be starting swim lessons soon.  Kiana also says that she wants to play lacrosse when she gets bigger.  Kiana still has a short temper especially if things don't work the way she wants them too. Sometimes she is super difficult for me to handle, but I love her more than anything and wouldn't trade her for the world. I just wish I could see things they way she does. I wish I knew how I could help her to have the best life possible and to be the happiest she can be.

Monkey Update

Kiana is now in 2nd grade and is doing well so far. She loves that her teachers from last year are also with her this year.  We finally got the results from her genetics testing and everything came back normal. She has started seeing a behavioral therapist as well as a physical therapist as well. She still loves everything Frozen and Annie. She loves to sing the songs all the time and aggravates her sister while doing it. Kiana loves going to see her "play" doctor(physical therapy) as well as her behavioral therapist.

quick update

      Kiana is doing well. She had an appointment with a geneticist a few weeks ago and so we are waiting on the results from the DNA test that they took. She also has an appointment with the developmental pediatrician finally. Kiana starts 2nd grade in a few weeks.

           This summer we spent a lot of time at Six Flags. Kiana loved going on rides and swimming in the pool. She also loves riding the water roller coaster.

Monkey

     Monkey is doing great. We have been working a lot on her school work over the summer to try and catch her up a little bit. In two weeks she meets with a genetics doctor.  Maybe it will give us some answers to what is going on with her but I have my reservations. She really likes working on school work and loves anything school related. I'm really hoping that she gets a teacher that is as good as the one she had last year when school starts back up again. She still talks about her first grade teachers all the time. So far this summer she has started making a counting book from 1-100 and a book of numbers that add up to 10. 



Some of her work from this summer.



We have also been reading everynight before she goes to bed. so far we have read Charlottes web, Stuart little, and the trumpet of the swan.
