Yeah April's Almost Over!!

Julia had her ballet exam at the beginning of this month. (Easter Monday) She did really well and I'm so proud of her. I'm also so glad that she is back to one ballet class a week instead of 3!!
On April 17th the girls had their 1st dance competition of the year. (this was Kailey's 1st time competing) They did so good. Kailey wore her metals to school for most of the week. She was so proud of herself. The girls did a duo together called Hey Mickey.(looked sooo cute!) The girls put alot of work into their dances and I'm so glad that it's all over. If I would have know how much work would be involved in having a autistic child back in October, I probably wouldn't of put my girls in so many things this year. A lesson I've learned!
Shawn went out of town for 15 days and came home 1 hour before the girls competition. The following day we gave Thomas a much needed haircut. It's not the greatest cut but it will have to do. I think next time we will be giving him a buzz cut.
Dance Power competition this past weekend. The girls came in 1st in all their dances except Julia's solo. She came in second and was still very proud of herself. This picture above was taken with the girls jazz dance teacher Miss Danielle.

In between all of these dance exams and competition I was taking Thomas to Vancouver twice a week. This thursday Shawn and I go out to Vancouver for Tom's final diagnosis. I know I have a long road ahead of me. We already found out from the speech pathologist that Thomas has alot of catching up to do. He's at the level of a 6 to 9 month old with only his speech/comunication, everything else (motor skills etc...) he's at a normal level with the exception of a few sensory problems. If I work hard with him these next two years before he goes to school, I think he will be doing well.
I know I've been slacking in the blog department and with some of my chaos coming to an end, I will have more time to be on my computer.
