Man oh man

We've settled it--Evan has a kindergarten for next year. He'll be going to the school across town with the autism support. Mike and I were really impressed with the teacher and the facilities, and we think it will be a great place for Evan. Because he doesn't have too many serious issues, he'll probably be mainstreamed for most of the day and use the support classroom as a home base. I think it will be an easier adjustment for all of us too, just knowing that extra help is there if he needs it.

I dressed up a little today--I wore dress pants and a nice blouse and boots that make me two inches taller. It felt good to be out of my mommy uniform of jeans and sweatshirts for a change. I felt more confident, more like a girl, and like I could get more things done! I wish I could dress that way all the time, but mostly it's not practical when I'm dodging puke or pureed carrots. Maybe when G gets a little older, I'll try to get more of a wardrobe going (or pray for Stacy and Clinton to come help me). It just made me feel so good today that I want to keep doing it. Next thing you know, I'll be wearing make-up! It's a world gone mad!
