Talking to Kindergarten Parents
We jumped into our first full week of school and it seems like Jordan is getting into the flow very comfortably. She does this to me. We head into a huge transition and she just flows into it. Her teacher says things are going well… Most kids are very understanding of Jordan’s difference. Her biggest…

We decided at the last minute to go play in the water… not at our pool but at a water park that’s about an hour and a half away. We didn’t have time to spend an entire day there, but long enough for the kids to have fun and do things I’m pretty sure they’ve…

I have so much to do at work this week… and it’s becoming quite clear that I won’t have time until later this week to write a lot about the conference and more about my experience with the special needs mini-conference. So… I’ll give you a chance to see some of my pictures from the…

Right after our big 504 plan meeting at Jordan’s school, I ran off to San Diego to attend the BlogHer conference. It’s my first time attending a massive blog-focused event like this.
