Ok so Morgan refused to go down to the guest/laundry room to get clothes this morning because she was and I quote “afraid to be eaten by the laundry monster…you know dad like the trash heap on Fragile Rock”. After laughing my butt off and being really proud of the fact that we have exposed our kids to such quality programming as Fragile Rock

….both Todd and I decided that we should attack the “Laundry Monster” here is a shot pre-attack. We managed to make it through about 1/3 of it tonight (hoping the remaining 2/3 will just eat itself).

The Laundry Monster

I am so proud of Morgan these days. She is just blossoming. She struggles so much last year at school. After we had her learning disabilities diagnosed and worked on boosting her self estimate when it can to reading she made great leaps and bounds this summer in reading. We are getting her sensory and fine motor skills evaluated and she will hopefully start her OT soon. She LOVES her teacher this year…it is such a great match. Her reading is on track and even though she works at her spelling she is succeeding (actually she is getting a lot of 100%). She is finally seeing herself as a smart girl. She has lots of friends and is feeling comfortable with her place in the family, with her friends, and as a student. The only thing missing in her little life is an animal. Morgan is one of those kids who animals just naturally follow and obey. She is such a calm, in control, happy little soul…she has so much to teach me. Her allergies have been really bad lately but it still looks like we can get a small hypo-allergenic dog next summer…she will be so happy.
