Jaxen's Transition Meeting

This morning was our transition meeting with the school district about Jaxen transferring into the their early childhood education program.  It was an easy meeting.  The meeting consisted of Jerry, myself, Jaxen, our Missouri first steps coordinator, the head of Midway's Special Education Department, Midway's parents as teachers cordinator and head of Belton School Districts Special Education Department.  We all sat around the table and discussed our concerns for Jaxen and the difficulty he is having with speech, language and concentration.

We were there for quite a while because Jaxen has quite the file started!  The professionals were very nice and answered all our questions and concerns.  Our next step is our RED Meeting on the 27th, which means we go over all the information that is documented and decide what tests Jaxen should receive.  But between now and the 27th, Jaxen is having a sensory screening (to determine if he can feel pain - where at and to what extent).  {Jerry and I are not sure if he feels pain like the rest of us, most of the time he gets hurt he only reacts for our benefit.  So this will be an interesting test!} And we have a hearing and vision screening that Jaxen will have to complete next week before our RED Meeting.

After our RED Meeting, and his testing, we will get back together to discuss what services Jaxen will be offered.  Our choices are:

1) Continue as is with Speech and Language Therapy but through our school district.  Probably twice a week.

2) If Jaxen is developmentally and behaviorally behind we will have the option to send him to an early childhood education preschool in Belton. The school will provide a bus or van to transport Jaxen from our home to school and back, Monday through Friday. (Not sure how I feel about this... my baby on a bus!)

3) Or our last option is to discontinue services until Jaxen enters Kindergarten.

The next month or so will determine what we can do for Jaxen once he turns three.  Because at three, Missouri First Steps ends their services with him.  The process of transitioning will be extradited because Jax turns three in just 3 short months and if he qualifies for services he can potentially start them on his 3rd birthday.  Normally, this process of transitioning it's started 6 months out, but because that was June and no one was at school then, we are getting a late start.

Please wish it's luck, this is uncharted waters for us! Once again, Jaxen has to do things differently! Lol

I hope I haven't last or confused anyone. If you have questions please ask! Most people are quite about the delays their children have but I feel the need to share it all with you.  You are apart of Jaxen's life and can see the difficulties he faces.  And I think it's important for other parents to see that, delays happen in all types of children. You can't ignore it and I won't.  There is no evidence that Jaxen's burn accident caused this delay, while I am sure it didn't help anything- Jaxen might have been delayed regardless.  With the information and resources we have, Jerry and I are doing everything we can to give Jaxen the best start on life and in education.

Another fundraiser. . .

I feel like we do A LOT of fundraisers throughout the year. . . but I guess that's the way it is when 2 of the kids are in school and 1 in scouts.  {Just wait until I have four in school and scouts.  = \} 

With that being said, sometimes the food fundraisers are good and I really hate the ones where you have to buy crazy junky stuff.  But my favorite and best fundraisers are the ones that just ask for money. . . because lets face it - you pick the amount you can give.  $1, $5, $10, $15, $20 -- all make a difference for the organization raising funds.

So drum roll -- here's our latest {& hopefully our last for the year} fundraiser!  Chloe's PTO at school is organizing a Walk-A-Thon on May 4th.  From 5pm - 7pm, we will walk the track at her school.  There will be fun family activities and relay races with prizes for the kids.  We are encouraged to collect pledges from our family and friends.  If you are willing and able to, will you consider sponsoring Miss Chloe in the Midway Walk for Pride Event?  Pledges can be taken two ways - #1. In Person {Or by Mail} and #2. Over the Internet.

Just click the link below and click the Yellow "Donate Now" button at the top of the page.  Then it will ask you to enter the unique Pledge Code for the participant whom you would like to support in this event -- Chloe's pledge code is:  807_chldaily. 


To all those who donate or will consider donating - Thank You!  A donation to our school is a donation to our future.  = )

Chloe's 2nd Quarter Assessment Results

First off let me start by showing off Chloe's awesome assessment results.  Her school does these types of testing every quarter to make sure the students are progressing.  I don't ever remember being tested this often as a kid but I am sure this is another luxury of a small town school.  The first {green} results are from Chloe's math testing. . . the numbers like 1.3 {where she tested at that beginning of the year} is read like 1st Grade, third month.  The second {blue} results are from Chloe's DIBELS {Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills} and those results are just number based.  The first column being where she should be as a first grader and the written numbers are where she is at currently.



So as you can see, Chloe's doing an amazing job.  She is bringing home more extra reading and math assignments.  Her teachers don't want her to stop learning because she is excelling at the first grade level.  They want her to continue - the sky is the limit!

No-Tax Weekend

Wow!  We have spent a ton of money this weekend - thank goodness for the Savings Account!  This weekend was 'no-tax' weekend in Missouri.  Which means that school supplies, computers, clothes, and diapers are all tax free!  Since moving to Kansas City (Sedalia/Pettis County doesn't participate in it) we have always taken advantage of the No -Tax Holiday.  It saves us quite a bundle in back to school shopping - especially when added to the 10% Walmart Employee Discount.  And Jerry and I save for months to afford no-tax shopping, but with 3 kids we really can't afford not to participate in the tax free holiday.  The following is how we spent 5 hours and just over $2,000!

Chloe's school supplies & Jacob's school supplies

Jerry used some of his school money to get a new laptop, now he isn't tied around home - he can take it with him if we go somewhere or visit family.  Which makes it super nice and convenient.  Now to keep the kids and dogs away from it. . . that's the hard part!  I'm so glad his schooling paid for the laptop, no way I would have saved enough for a laptop and school supplies/clothes!  {SO yeah, didn't really spend 2,000 of our own money since about half of it was the computer but it sounds good!  :o)}  On the computer alone we got a $79.70 Discount and saved $67.55 in taxes for a total savings of $147.25!  I consider that a score!  So this year we replaced both the desktop and laptop - we should be good for a couple years, hopefully!!

Mom's stash!
And I know I said it before but we took full advantage of this weekend. . . Normally, it's all about the kids and their needs but this year Jerry and I saved enough money to splurge on us too!  Jerry and I got new clothes, lunch boxes and work boots to go along with our normal socks and underwear splurge.  Jerry got about 11 $3.00 shirts and I got 8 $2.00 t shirts and 2 pairs of Blue Jeans.

Of course it was the kids that hit the jackpot. Many of their clothes were on clearance. I don't get my employee discount on clearance merchandise but I still get them tax free, so it was nice to get shirts at $2 and $3! Especially since they grow out of them so fast and will need more next year!

Chloe's school clothes
Besides all her 1st grade school supplies, Chloe hauled in a whooping 8 t-shirts, 3 outfits, 2 purple dresses, 4 blue jeans, 1 pair of khakis, a pajama, a ladybug raincoat, 3 Hello Kitty socks, a pair of Hello Kitty tights, 14 pairs of underwear, Hello Kitty sneakers, and Hello Kitty dress shoes!!  The theme was Hello Kitty this year. . . Everything was Hello Kitty!!  I had to eventually say no, because she would have gone on forever!!

Jacob's School clothes

Jacob had fun shopping with Daddy for his school supplies!!  {Jerry took Jacob and I took Chloe - it's so much easier if we both a tackle a list.  Because with two kids going in different directions I get flustered and end up forgetting something!}  Jacob ended up going with a theme - Mario!!  Definitely his Daddy's son!  Jacob didn't need as many school supplies but he definitely kept up with Chloe in the clothes department.  Jacob hauled in 12 t-shirts, 4 pairs of pants, 3 Blue Jeans, a raincoat, and 20 pairs of socks!

Jaxen's diaper stash
And don't think that Jaxen was just around for the ride!!  Diapers are tax-free this weekend also, so like every year, we take the opportunity to stock up on a diapers!!  Jaxen is currently in a size 3 diaper, but since we don't know how much longer he will be in that size, we bought one package of size 3's and two packages of size 4's plus a huge box of baby wipes!!  This household has never been without baby wipes in the 6 years Chloe's been alive!!  Baby Wipes are every parents 'Must Have'!!  Besides the diapers, Jaxen also got a pair of tennis shoes {he refuses to wear socks and shoes, this is going to be a problem come winter if we don't get him used to them now!}, 3 long sleeve rompers and 2 long sleeve / long pants outfits.  Jax needs winter clothes and not much is out there for warmth right now.  So I'm afraid I will have to shop for him another time.  He is also going to need a winter coat - the other two got new winter coats at the end of last year so they should be good.

So with that huge back to school shopping spree, I saved $64.52 with my discount and $51.42 in taxes.  I know that's nothing compared to the amount we had to spend ($688.83) but it helped a lot because it's stuff they would have needed anyways!!  I think it's time to start saving for next year!!  I'll take donations!!  LOL

It's a good thing we save up for months for this weekend because then on top of all that, I still had to shop for groceries. . . Price Chopper ($34.00), Walmart ($209.36) AND Sam's Club ($287.47)!   Major ouch on the pocket book, but I think we are going to be eating and dressing like rock stars for a while!!  :-)  Thank goodness for the 'No-Tax' Weekend!  My little family had a total savings of $263.19 - just by shopping this weekend!

Now back to penny pinching and saving for next year!!  :-)

Blessing in disguise?!

Okay, so I'm really, really nervous about this new job move.  I totally have it made in the position that I am in.  I hate walking away from a job that I love!  But after days and days of mind boggling thoughts, I believe the pros out way the cons!
Pros.
  • Only working 3 days a week - Saturday, Sunday, Monday
  • Having 4 days off with Jerry - currently we have no days off together
  • More time with my kids.
  • Shorter commute to work - less gas
  • Off by 330pm on the days that I do work
  • Off for doctor's appointments
  • Off for most Girl Scout events and meetings
  • Available for Chloe's school parties and field trips
  • Jacob can go to preschool - simply wasn't an option before.
  • Available for Jacob's school parties and field trips
  • WAY more money!  Over $800 a month more.
  • No responsibility - do my job and go home
Cons.
  • Giving up a job I love for one I'll probably hate
  • Working in the freezer - negative 52 degrees!!
  • Stuck in the same position for 6 months - at least!
  • Giving up my weekends off - no trips to Iowa once the kids are in school
  • Being at work at 4am - Ugh!
  • Jerry and I overlap an hour and a half Sunday and Monday morning. . . have to pay a baby sitter
  • Jerry and I work opposite shifts so the 3 days we do work are going to be VERY long days
  • Still only have 1 working vehicle.
I could probably go on and on forever but I don't think I have to.  One of the things I am most proud of and one of things that just wasn't an option because of work schedules and money - sending Jacob to preschool!!  I am going in tomorrow and registering him for Thursday-Friday Preschool Classes.  It was a lot of money that I couldn't justify with three kids and the rising cost of gas, rent, and car payment.  But now that I will be bringing in quite a bit more, it's totally justified.  Plus, I will be off those days and able to take him to and from school!  I am so excited, it's something I started doing with Chloe three years ago but Jerry had to take over once I got the Department Manager position.  So starting in Mid-August on Thursdays and Fridays from 8am until noon, Jaxen will be the only kid at home!!

Also, today we went and registered Chloe in cheerleading. . . so I am officially a cheer-mom!  She is totally stoked, she got to try on a uniform {for sizes} and everything!  So my schedules getting full again!!  Starting tomorrow - Monday and Wednesdays until school starts - Chloe has Cheer practice on the school football field.  Once school starts practices move to Tuesday and Thursday - which are better for us anyways!  Only have to figure out how to get her to and from the games that fall on Saturdays. . . because Jerry and I will both be working.  Hopefully, another mom will help me out with that. . . if not oh well, it's just for fun anyways.  :-)

So begins my crazy, busy life as mommy!!  Wish me luck. . . I will have 2 kids in school!!  Splitting my time between work, preschool, first grade, mommy, cheerleading, girl scouts and wife!  Poor Jerry's gonna get left out I'm afraid!  Oh wait!!  We will have Thursday and Friday without 2 of the 3 kids!!  :o)

Chloe's Christmas Music Concert

Wow, if anything makes me feel old - it's sitting in a school gymnasium watching my Kindergartner perform in a Christmas Choir Concert!  I sat there watching this beautiful little girl, on stage performing in front of an audience for the very first time!  The concert was short and sweet but I loved absolutely every second of it!  Here are a few videos of the concert. . . I'm sorry it takes me a while to get the focus right.  The camera wanted to focus on the back of peoples heads and not the performers.  I hope I don't make you sick, but it sure is cute to listen to!

Jingle Bells (0:25) - Kindergarten

The Chipmunk Song (Christmas, Don't Be Late) (1:22) - Kindergarten & 1st Grade

Chubby Snowman poem (0:12) - Kindergarten & 1st Grade

Hope you all enjoy this post, the video uploader that blogger uses was being a pain in my butt!!  But I have been persistent!!  I started this entry at 5:10 this afternoon and I'm finally able to post it at 10:01pm!!  That's how long it took me to get it uploaded to the Internet!  I saved the files small because I didn't want it to take you just as long to watch as it did to upload. . . but with that comes a slightly poorer quality of video.  But I don't think you'll mind. . . Enjoy!

A weeks worth of updates.

Where has the week gone!  I'm sure I've said this before, but October has turned out to be one of the busiest months ever!!  Let's see if I can remember what's happened during the last week. . .

October 23rd - Saturday - I got to sleep in a little but not much because I had some Girl Scout errands and phone calls to make.  After making all the phone calls, the family and I headed out to Walmart.  Jerry wandered Walmart for an hour while I got my Girl Scout Checking Account started and all the registrations turned in to the registrar.  Afterwards, I picked up a few groceries, like milk and bread and we headed home to eat lunch and let Jerry get some sleep before work.  I don't remember anything else, until that night when my Mom and Dad came to visit for a few hours.  Kids were acting crazy and excited to show Grandma and Grandpa their Halloween costumes.

October 24th - Sunday - I have no idea what we did this day, must not have been very exciting!  :o)

October 25th - Monday - This was a busy day!  I worked all day, when I got off work at 4pm I had to race to Harrisonville to pick up the Girl Scout Cookie Cards & Permission Slips from the Cookie Manager's Husband.  Then I had to race home to take Jerry to work by 5pm - everyone was waiting outside ready to go when I pulled into the driveway!  Kids and I put gas in the car, got McDonald's for dinner, and took Chloe to school for her Music Open House.  It was after 7pm before, I ever got home and sat down!

October 26th - Tuesday - The kids and I had to be up at 5am to get Jerry from work.  So the day started early!  I worked all day and looking back my facebook status said: "Ugh! It's been a long and stressful day. Two more months and it won't matter anymore. . ."  I was beat when I got home and I can't remember doing anything special. . . I'm pretty sure we hung out at home.

October 27th - Wednesday - I worked all day and hurried home as soon as I could!  Thankfully, I remembered to buy a hot glue gun and wiggly eyes before I left.  Jerry had dinner cooking when I walked in the door. . . I love when I don't have to worry about dinner!  We were on a limited time frame because I had my first Girl Scout Meeting in a few hours and I still had to print out my newsletters and gather all the supplies I needed for the meeting.

The meeting went great.  I only have 4 girls but it's awesome, they LOVED doing crafts and talking about Girl Scouting.  Jerry sat off to the side entertaining Jacob, just laughing at the things these little 5 and 6 year olds come up with.  We talked about selling cookies and what they wanted to do with their money.  Last year, they didn't get to sell cookies and didn't get to have a big activity.  So they were excited and came up with a lot of good ideas, most of which I think we could do - minus the trip to Disney World and the Cruise Ship of course! 

October 28th - Thursday - I took a personal day from work because Jerry and I had to be in Urbana for court that afternoon.  Nothing major, we got a ticket because of our weeds being to high.  We called the prosecutor and he said that if we took care of them in a certain time frame then he would have the ticket thrown out and dismissed.  We held up our end of the deal; however, that was suppose to happen last month and instead they gave us a continuance until this month.  So basically, we just had to show our faces in court to make it go away.  But in order to make it to Urbana on time, we had to be on the road as soon as Chloe got off the school bus.  So instead of begging for a half day it was just easier to take the entire day off with pay. 

After Chloe got on the school bus that morning, the boys and I went out and grabbed a few groceries at Walmart, put gas in the Explorer and had Taco Bell for lunch.  I had a bag of toys and snacks packed and car loaded when Chloe's bus dropped her off.  We got to Urbana in good time and got to visit with Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Daily before court.  After court, we grabbed some dinner at Sonic and stopped by Grandma and Grandpa Dodds' house to eat and raid my mom's Girl Scout room!  And of course, we couldn't stay too long because Chloe had school and I had to work the next morning.

October 29th - Friday - I worked a couple more hours at work than I had to, but Monday is going to be a total bear no matter what, so what little I could get done ahead of time should help me out a lot!  Monday starts the whole Christmas Season at Walmart, and Toys is a BIG part of that picture.  (Doesn't help that Toy Story 3 is releasing at the same time!)  When I got home, Jerry cooked chicken patties and fries for dinner while I loaded the dishwasher and cleaned up the kitchen.  Then we just hung out while the kids played before bed.  They needed the down day after yesterday!


Chloe was very proud to bring this home Friday.  Thought we'd share with you!  Good job, Chloe!

October 30th - Today - So far today, the only thing I've done is sleep in and cleaned up the living room.  There are a ton of things that need to be done but quite frankly, I have no energy to get them done right now.  I only feel like laying around and napping.  :o)

Today starts Girl Scout Cookie orders also!  Chloe is so excited, let us know if you want to order any Girl Scout Cookies!!

Chloe's Report Card

27 week appointment

Whew, there is lots of things happening around here.  All week has been crazy busy!  But here I am taking a moment for myself - at 11:30pm. . . Both kids are sounds asleep in their beds and Jerry is 'napping' before going to work tonight for a few hours.  He doesn't really want to work tonight but doing this for a co-worker tonight will get him off a couple hours on Halloween to go trick-or-treating with the kids.  So it's good for the big picture. 

I used a vacation day on Monday and only worked half a day on Tuesday because Jacob and I had a WIC appointment.  No big deal, all the normal things were done and we were on our way.  Jacob weighed in at exactly 31 pounds and his iron was absolutely awesome at a 13.

Wednesday -  I worked all day and then went to a Girl Scout Service Unit Meeting.  I really wanted to skip it, but I had to go to find out if I was getting a troop here in town or not.  And the great news is that I am!  The only problem is that there were lots of issues last year with a troop leader here in town named 'Heidi' and missing money, parents paid for uniforms and things that there kids never received.  So council is working with me to get the things they were promised and make it right.  So I have a huge up hill battle to get last years girls to re-register.  Next Wednesday night I have a parent / registration meeting to meet and talk face-to-face with these parents so that they know I am not the same 'Heidi' that messed things up last year.  Wish me luck!

Thursday - I worked but around 3:20 I get a phone call from Chloe's school saying that the bus tried to drop her off but there wasn't anyone standing outside to get her.  So she was on her way back to the school to wait until a parent came and got her.  Which totally freaked me out!  I immediately called home and talked with Jerry. . . the Insurance Company called about me and he was in the process of getting them all squared away when the bus arrived to drop off Chloe.  He totally lost track of time talking to the Insurance Company and it wasn't until the bus was pulling away that he seen it outside.  So needless to say, I immediately left work to go pick Chloe up from school.  I dang near beat her back to school too!  The bus driver had just dropped her off at the office when I was pulling in the parking lot.  I was expecting a crazy upset 5-year-old when I walked around the corner, but what I got was the total opposite!  She had fun driving all over Freeman on the school bus and she KNEW that someone was on their way to get her.  Thank goodness we talked to her about what would happen if Daddy wasn't outside waiting, so she was okay with the whole thing. . . Daddy was more upset about missing her bus than Chloe was!  That afternoon, we ran to Walmart for a few things that we needed since I didn't get to pick them up after work.  We grabbed Sonic for dinner because I had to attend the Freeman Community Club Meeting to ask the board permission to use the Community Building for my Girl Scout Troop Meetings.  (Which they said YES!)

Friday was my doctor's appointment.  Jerry's sister, Susan watched Jacob for us.  It is so much easier to go without him.  This appointment was the one I dread. . . the horrible Glucose Screening.  I drank the nasty drink, then the world spun, my balance was way off, and I felt yucky but an hour later they drew my blood and hopefully I'll get a phone call telling me that everything was good so I don't have to take the 3 hour test.  Other than the glucose screening, I think it was a very informative appointment.  I got to ask all my questions and state all my worries.  Here's the scoop:  my blood pressure was 120 / 70 which is good.  I weighed in at 137.5 pounds, which means I had no weight gain this month but the baby is still measuring perfectly so there isn't any worries, the weight will come.  Once again we couldn't get an accurate heart rate on the little guy because he wouldn't stay still.  He actually kicked the microphone the whole time we tried to get a reading, even though I don't have a 'beats per minute' average the doctor said that it's a good thing that he's so active and we can tell he has a good and strong heartbeat. 

And now the scary part, okay at least to me, is the pain I've been experiencing is actually because of braxton hicks contractions.  Apparently my uterus finally knows what it's doing!  My doctor says I have an active uterus (kinda a theme this time around -active baby and active uterus!) and that the braxton hicks are normal this early but not to ignore them.  I have to pay closer attention to them and head to the Hospital when they A.) become rhymetic or closer together and frequently B.) become intense, gradually getting stronger or doubling over in pain C.) cause a bloody show or my water breaks.  Most likely the contractions are because I actively work all week long and once I get home and relax for the weekend they start up, practicing for labor.  So no worries yet, but it's something I have to watch. . . the doctor wants to see me every two weeks now, so I'm in good hands.  My next doctor's appointment is in 3 weeks - 11/10/10 @ 10am!!

Oh geez, I have a kindergartener.

Well today was a huge day for Miss Chloe!  She officially became a kindergartener. . .


The morning started off around 6:30am.  Daddy got up and made scrambled eggs before she got up and had them ready for her on the kitchen table when she came downstairs.  She didn't eat much breakfast because she said her belly hurt - I know it was just nerves so we didn't push her to eat all of it.  She was more interested in getting dressed up anyways!!  Ta-Da!!


Since we were ready for school way earlier than we needed to be - she got to watch about 20 minutes worth of cartoons.  We also woke Jacob up this morning with Chloe, so he could see her off to school and say goodbye.  It won't be neccessary to wake him up every morning because her bus stop is just outside our house, in front of the neighbors yard.  And we could see her bus pick up the kids down the road first.  So on cold days she could wait on the porch with Dad until they see the bus and then met the bus at the driveway.  Basically Dad will only be outside for a few minutes. 

 Here we are waiting for the bus #1!
 It's here!  Mommy wanted to cry. . .
 But once Chloe was on the bus, Jacob's face made me laugh! 
He was sad to see her go to school without him, but he was happy to have Mommy and Daddy to himself!!

Once Jacob, Mommy and Daddy were on their own for the day, we had to find something to do!  So we did yardwork on this beautiful, not so hot, over casted, breezing day!  We spent close to two hours mowing, weeding, watering and treating the yard.  After all that fun, Jacob got a bath and then sat and watched cartoons with Daddy the rest of the day, while Mommy cleaned out the refrigerator, folded laundry, and washed the kitchen floor.  Currently, both boys are sleeping. . . and I am patiently waiting on Chloe to get out of school.  :o)

Here comes the bus. . .

Chloe's home!
Chloe really liked school. . . she found her friend Taylor first thing and together they found there classroom.  For those who don't know. . . Taylor and Chloe were in preschool the last two years together and they played T-Ball together this summer.  Taylor is the only little girl that Chloe's knows here in Freeman, so it was nice to have them in the same Kindergarten class.  I know it made it a lot easier on Miss Chloe.  Chloe had a few complaints about her first day of school - mainly because it wasn't exactly like preschool and she didn't get to do everything she wanted.  But she was happy and excited that she could go again tomorrow.

Day 2 started out just the same.  Breakfast, get dressed, do her hair, and wait for the bus to pick her up.  Here's Chloe before her second day of Kindergarten. . .

Video of Chloe singing. . .

I spent the morning with Chloe at preschool. They had their Fall Harvest Party today. It was a lot of fun and I got to stay the entire first half of her day. Here's a few video clips that I got of her singing in music class. . . Leave us a message if you like it or not!! :o)
