Alphabet Soup



Today I met with the Educational Psychologist.

We have more diagnoses.

I really wonder just how many different diagnoses one child is legally allowed to have!?

I think we might be approaching that limit. And if there isn't one, there sure should be. :O)

I like to think that the new diagnoses don't change anything. 

It is just hard to see those scores in black and white like that. I felt kind of like I got the wind knocked out of me.

I just hate to tell him..and really, I don't think I will. Scout and I know and that is enough for now. 

I don't really see how any good can come of it right now.

A few weeks ago he told me he was tired of all the things he had and hoped there wasn't anything else.

 Well, there are..there are about 3 more things.

He just needs to know that he is loved and accepted and that everyone is fighting some kind of battle...everyone.

And that he is a 'Can Do Kid'!!

He is my Alphabet Soup kid. 

I have always loved Alphabet Soup...

.........especially the kind with the little meatballs!!

Very well put. I know testing/diagnosing is good for our children for school / doctoring issues, but it can be hard on us. I am glad you have such an awesome attitude!

Dallas, so thankful that a diagnosis is just that. Your son is so many bigger and better things. I know I have said this before, but, you are such a good mother. Thank you for being such a good example to other moms. God bless you and your family, Kathy Reynolds
