Summer ended not quite as I had expected...But there were many lessons learned that will define the events to come...

Now in August the neverending journey of school started again. For Lavagirl means same school, a new teacher and classroom but the same inmense workload. She seems happy with the changes although a little overwhelmed with the work. Besides that, she will have her first dance recital in November!!!!!!! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! She is extremely happy with the routines and looks foward to every class. But the adventure of the show is going to be interesting, since they are asking for sales in ads and tickets aside from the clothes and shoes...I am gratefull that her Aunt is helping with the expenses because she has 4 dances = 4 dresses =$$$$$$. Hope it turns out for the best!!

Sharkboy started in Music school with the bonus of starting in the school band. Beside his regular class he has to go 2 times for rehersals and do presentations and shows during the semester. Also he rejoined the karatedo with hopes to earn his orange belt and a trip to a competition in Florida. Also he will be evaluated for a sensory integration therapy to be taken 3 times a week and I am waiting for a Compu for his Ocupational and psy services to be rescheduled again. Hopefully those I 'll be able to get them in the mornings so his schedule isnt changed. If those therapies dont show improvement I am starting a piggy bank towards Tomatis therapy, which targets the hearing sense and maybe craneosacral therapy. Both are really, really, really, really EXPENSIVE but they seem to be worth it. The results I have seen deserve the investment.

As far as the homeschooling goes it is much, much, much BETTER!!!!! I guess he is finally freeing himself of the old system and accepting the new opportunity. I do hope that this year we can join the activities of some homeschooler groups that are being organized; I wish I had time to go to all of them but maybe someday. For now we are looking forward to to El Yunque, Hacienda Buenaventura since these will be guided tours and get a spot in the Science Fair.

So theres a few things going on and I will definetively need to work at a gas station to cover for all the $$ that I will have to spend going from point A to B to go back to A to then go to C in one day...But they are happy and in to everything they are doing...What else could be asked for?
