sometimes?

Hooray for Alex!!  I remember when Kyle had his removed and we went and 
bought him a pack of gum (my kids aren't allowed to have gum....though Im 
losing control of the older two) and he chewed the whole pack within an hour.

I found out a few weeks ago that Caley was in a health class.  It was never 
mentioned to me how their "Allied arts" work.  Apparently, they had music 
(Caleys fav....and she has my old music teacher) for a few months, then 
health, art and something else I cant remember.  The para pulled me aside and 
told me how the teacher was very strict and from what I could gather, not 
happy to have Caley in her class.  She had her sitting in the back of the 
room with a health book...alone and without any direction/modification.  
Thankfully, they were willing to put her back in music without any argument.

Glad everything is going so well for Alex :)

Take care,
Kerry, mom to Kyle 17, Courtney 14, Caley 12, (pt-13), Keenan 10, Kelin 8 and
