Where to begin... Obviously from the pictures, Sienna had her dance recital! She did such a great job, and loved being on stage performing. She took it very seriously, and I am so proud of her. We are already talking about next years recital! The picture of John is at the Children's museum flying an airplane. He continues to do so well. Right now he is being evaluated for preschool. So on top of all his other therapy appointments, we are meeting with another round of people to transition him into a special needs preschool. We have decided to seek a diagnosis for John. Like we haven't already been doing that. We are looking to get him diagnosed with "autism spectrum disorder". This would benefit him in which he would qualify for a very intensive therapy program. He is not your typical autistic child, but we can put him on the wide range of the spectrum, and like I said before I don't want him labeled unless it is going to help him, and this will help him.
I am so excited to be celebrating my retirement as a waitress this Saturday! I am really going to miss the new friends I have made at the new restaurant, but can always stay in touch with them. I start my new job on June 2nd. After putting in my notice, and getting a start date with DCF, I realized I had a little over a week in between jobs. So we are squeeking in a trip to Texas to visit my family. I have not seen my meme in a year and a half, which is the longest I have ever been without meme time! Sienna has been asking to see her grammy and papa as well. John, well he doesn't care, but I am sure he will have fun. I will try to get the video of Sienna's recital on utube soon.
Hope all is well.

Well, I am absolutely estatic! I got the social work job today. I had to go to the restaurant and quit, but they were more than understanding, and I will work there for another two weeks so they can find someone to replace me. I will miss my new friends at Il Casale, but I can't wait to get back to my career. I had to share the news with you all. I picked up a couple of lobsters, and we are celebrating tonight! Hope all is well.

Well, we had two doctor appointments this week, and things are looking good. GI increased his calorie intake, and things are going well. We don't have to go back for 3 months. I was told we would not be giving him anything to stimulate hunger until he is eating at least 50% of his calories. As of right now he is at 0%! So we have a long ways to go. We saw pulmonary today, John is still doing well, and we made a deal with the doctor that we will stay healthy until we see her again in September! We will not be taking his adenoids out. I don't believe this is necessary, and him staying healthy proves me to be right! Not much else is going on. Sienna is anxiously waiting for her big ballerina debut. She says she is the star of the show. I am still waiting to find out about the job. They called again today, and said that they should have an answer by the end of the week. At this point I would love to still get the job, but I am happy where I am at, and making new friends, and I am not working full time but making okay money. So if I don't get this job, I should be able to go back to social work by next winter.
