Dyl is doing good.

Everytime i say that I have to prep myself to 8keep fingers crossed* so it seems.

At times tings level out and there are no major direct issues with him or surrounding him , and right now is one of those times. For that I am incredibly grateful.

That being said, we will very shortly be faced wit the middle school enrollment and next year him attending. This scares the ever living daylights out of me. This MS has a reputation already in my mind, being it was the main reason for me pulling my 15 yr old out and homeschooling her for the last 16 months versus keeping her there. She is now headed into HS in the fall as a freshman , and not only is she caught up academically but she is actually slightly further ahead (wen I pulled her she was barely a 5t grade level in math , social studies and reading/English).

Because of that I am internally dreading the day that Dyl sets foot in there. The bullying was worse there for my daughter as well, including some done by a teacher (that was the straw that broke the camels back in terms of pulling her last year) so not only is that a huge concern, but the overall difference in terms of changing classes, having more than 1 teacher to train (and yes I literally train them on ow to deal with him because sadly teachers these days are often times ill equipped with the knowledge and skills to handle kids with asperget's period). As if I don't have enough on my plate :/

My hope to to have everything else in order by fall so I can really focus on helping him make the transition better.


In the meantime we continue to work wit him on relating to and treating others appropriately. Dyl's biggest rival is himself and with a close second comes is closest sib Nate who is 10 and has a major case of ADHD. Nate is a very funn easy going (little) big guy, but he is going through that stage that Dyl is growing out of. Ya know, that wonderful stage of "I don't have to listen, behave, act nice, do what you say, listen or even like anything about you or that you say to me because I say so , I'm in charge and I'll do what I want" yeah , that stage lol. Because of that, both of their issues and the ever increasing testosterone from tese 2 pre teens, I'd like to take them out back like in the old days on a daily basis if you kwim LOL. I'll describe an episode later when I have a minute. My days are currently filled with spring projects and once those are done time will allow for more blogging.
