Ethan update.

I am really proud of Ethan lately. First of all he did phenomenal in school this week, which is a HUGE relief after the last, well, month or two, hasn't gone so smoothly. The holidays were emotionally rough on him, but now that things are getting back into routine he is doing much better. (If we can just make it through the big birthday disappointment of next week, we will be in the clear for a while:)

And the other thing that has made me really excited about him lately is that he can finally read well enough to sing along to the hymns in church. He can read, process, and say the words fast enough to keep up with the rest of the congregation! That might not seem like much for an almost 9 year old, but for THIS almost 9 year old, it's the total BFD!
