Quick update

My brother W is here for a few weeks. Yay! My dad & my other brother visited for a few days, too. Awesomesauce. W is cleaning the house as his rent payment. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.

A has been in vision therapy for 2 weeks. After the first couple of days, she started reading signs outside voluntarily. Last week she did her daily reading (reading aloud to me) with NO complaining at all, for any of it. That has never happened before. Usually reading anything on her own results in a large freakout, I can't do it, you need to help me, I can't read small words, etc. This time, no problems AT. ALL. :D Tonight, she came out at bedtime to ask what books she could read. She is currently in bed, reading (actually READING, not looking at the pictures or reciting from memory) "The Cat in the Hat" voluntarily. That is the first time EVER that she has read, READ, something completely on her own & voluntarily. Hooray!!!!!!!

J's summer classes are over. Another hooray!!! He aced one & juuuuuust missed getting an A- in the other (the really hard one). Now, two weeks off!
