Report Cards, Therapy and Other Fun Stuff

Friday is always a very special day around here. Its a very busy day. Its therapy day. More than half of the children go to therapy every week. It can sometimes be very inconvenient but its a necessity. I used to not think it was such a big deal. But long range therapy for other children in my home have brought about such positive results that I rank it as important now. I was always of the belief that if you just take a child in and love him and provide for him then it will take care of all the other little issues that may pop up from time to time. In other words....Love covers a multitude of sins....and I still believe that however when it comes to parenting a child thats already seen a lot of hurt and disappointment before they ever came to you...therapy is wonderful thing to have. Today we made the journey over to Norfolk to go to therapy then each child had to be dropped back off at school because we didnt want to miss today.....its moms favorite school day....its REPORT CARD DAY!!!
Report cards were supposed to be out last friday but due to the storm that overtook us last weekend they were delayed by one week. I am not concerned about their grades...I know they are all doing well. Some a little better than others but all of them are good. I like to make a big deal out of this day because I like for the children to see that education is important to us...its worth celebrating. I have a child in my home that is so excited about getting to school each day now that hes angry when he has to miss for therapy. He wants to be there every minute he can. That speaks volumes for the teacher who is at the head of his class.
We are also in what I jokingly call the third trimester of a adoption. We are hoping it will all be settled and completed before Christmas and we have every reason to believe it will be. It will make our Christmas complete knowing that this child is ours.....forever.
So thats the latest updates from the Brewer house....for now.
