I've been so ungodly busy I haven't had time to update in, oh, a while.
Bucko is now off to school! His first day was last week, and he did really well. I was so excited for him. He's in the Spec Ed class, which is good because the teacher only currently has 3 children, and at most will have 7, so he gets the one-on-one he needs. An awesome part of him being Spec Ed is he gets picked up and dropped off by the bus every day-right in front of the house! At 7.20 we're out waiting on the bus to roll up, and by 2.45ish, my Bucko is back home. I really love not having to fight the traffic at the school.
Lil is standing! We've managed to get him to stand up on his own a few times, and he can do it as long as he doesn't try to look around, or he falls flat on his butt. No walking yet, but he does travel from furniture to furniture, so he's getting a walking toy for his birthday to help out.
Speaking of birthdays, Bucko turned 4 on the 10th! I can't believe my baby is a big boy now. He had fun at his little party-we just chilled at the house and I made him a gfcf cake and icing-which actually tasted like REAL cake.
We're having a big family party on Labor Day weekend in Lake Jackson, so for anyone wanting to come, please give me a heads up.
Chelation is working, lil man has been talking! The other day sitting with Ryan he said "Hawaii, my doggie", and when we went on a walk the other night, Lil dropped his cup, and he gave it back to him and called him "puppy". He's also told me "cook, cook" when I'm in the kitchen. Takes after his Dad.
Well I just wanted to post a quick update, I gotta pick up the house and get a few things done around here. Off to June Cleavering!

Lousyana School drama
Aaaaaaand I'm back. Been a while since I've had time to sit and actually write. That and something's up with my lap top key board, it bounces around the little blinky thing where your font comes from, and I end up writing in the middle of a sentance, or it randomly highlights areas and when I hit the space bar, it deletes what I wrote O_o
Back to updating, I spend most of this morning attempting to change the date for Quincy's IEP (Individualzed Education Plan-where it has exactly what they're going to work on him with). Since he didn't go to school last year (I'll vent on that cluster pluck later), he had his IEP done at the end of August. Problem with my current date for IEP-Aug. 27-is school starts next Friday, the 14th. I NEED to have his IEP done BEFORE he starts, not two weeks into school. So this morning I played- phone ring-around-the-rosie trying to find someone who could comprehend that all I need to do is CHANGE THE DATE for his IEP meeting. Somehow I got asked "who called you about his IEP", since someone calling me apparently has something to do with changing the day O_o No one has called, I got the info BACK IN MAY, they just told me I couldn't change anything until closer to school starting.
*frustrated mumbling*
I HATE the Lousiana school system, it's a back-asswads NIGHTMARE. I have 3 more months in this Hell Hole, and back to Texas where I can deal with a school system that's NOT number 47 in the nation, 3rd from the bottom! And not to mention the problems I've been having trying to find Quincy an ABA therapist. The only ones are out in Lake Charles, an hour and a half from here, and he's going to have to go every day. No OT in the area, either. Yay for Lousyana!
Now for some news on the boys.
Quincy is doing really well, the chelation looks to be working, he's stimming a lot less, and is trying to vocalize more. It's mostly "Quincy-ese", nonsense words he says to himself or when he's playing, but it's vocalizing. He's also listening and taking directions really well.
Hudson is pulling up on things and "walking"-like holding onto the couch and creeping down it. He jabber jabbers a lot, and just about everything is "cat" (his latest word). He has Momma and Dada down pat, working on "dog", and he waves bye-bye. He'll eat pretty much anything you give him, along with anything he can get his mitts on.
We're planning on going to the Ren Fest, most likely in October (and the last weekend, since that's when EVERYTHING is on sale). I'm excited, I LOVE Ren Fest, especially the excuse to dress up and put my theatre skills to work pretending to be someone else. I'm trying to figure out what to do for the boy's costumes, Ryan and I are "barbarians", mostly because there's really no where we fit in else where in the typical Ren Fest catagories.
That's about it for this ramble, I'm off to prep ribs for dinner and help Bucko pick up the lima beans he decided should "rain" in the living room.
