I have a few stories to tell about Jordan… but I’m running around for work. But I wanted to quickly post video of Jordan climbing up the play area at my new gym. She’s amazingly flexible and is so proud of how she can get to the top. She was a bit distracted and we [...]

Being a part of history… Without even knowing it

January 17th, 2009 · 2 Comments · 2009

I keep forgetting to bring the camera or the video recorder… But Jordan has stunned me once again.

Jordan’s Poppy and Grandma visited the family this weekend… She absolutely loves grandparent attention. It means she can get away with more stuff and doesn’t always have to say please like when her Mom is always around.
I had to work – and I started a new commitment to going to the gym. I even joined [...]

Mixed feelings

January 7th, 2009 · 1 Comment · 2009, Therapy, jordan

I had a big meeting with the public school district yesterday to decide if she would qualify for their Individualized Education Program or IEP. It’s a specialized plan for a child with disabilities in a learning environment. I had mixed feelings about the process since I don’t consider Jordan disabled… But I kind of wanted [...]
