Thoughts
We've thought about change. We've talked about change. We've argued, quipped and stomped off fuming, about change. Our short time in the wonderful mission house gave us time to work on our communication and now we both might actually do something about change. Arriving tired and already affected by the depression that sits on this city we were still able to plug away at the problems we found waiting for us and we have actually put a few new things in place in order to change. We just might make it!
Today has been my slowest since we arrived. I exercised while the boy enjoyed his judo class. I've done laundry, but not much. I've picked up a few things and put away a few things and did some preliminary project work. Preliminary project work is code for I looked through several knitting mags and books for a project that will only use some the yarn I've got in this beautiful shade of blue... I am thinking that I might want to keep these for myself. I'm not sure.
Last night we had a meeting with the psychologist who explained the report on the Leeners. She had gone through a battery of tests to see if there were any learning disabilities or "transtornos" that we would need to get her help with. She has none! The main problem is the lack of stimulation and education as a baby and young child. She will need some specific help to recoop the steps she missed and to learn to concentrate and stay focused. With the offical report and reccommendation we will be able to get her this help! I'm excited! She wants to be a pilot some day. She just might be one day ...... watch out world Leeners is coming!
I have to bite the bullet and call the boy\s piano teacher. We were going to have him practice AND get him a teacher while in the States. That didn't happen. (I can hear Betters snickering). I am famous for biting off more than I can chew and this was one of those. Sigh. His piano teacher studied in Russia. She came back with her natural love and intensity for her craft strengthed by an infusion of Russion steel and vigor. I will be politely whipped. Perhaps the ceiling will fall and I will have an excuse not to call today.
Nope the roof is firm, having been fixed already this week. I will have to call. sigh.
Amanha folks.
