This is really the only word to describe my son’s progress. Well maybe another would be divine intervention plus a little early intervention therapy…. Ok that is more than just one word but you get the point.

Killi’s 1st Report Card
Killi has been attending preschool for almost a month. There have been good days and bad days. The good days, he is spot on; listens, follows directions, participates, and doesn’t act like a mad man. The bad days are not so great; he has a total meltdown when I leave, hits and pushes the other kids, and acts like a fool. Luckily with the reports I am given, it seems there are more good day than bad but still as the parent I hate to see him acting up and hitting people. Yes I know it’s a phase but that doesn’t mean I have to enjoy it.
What is the Horace family up to?
Killi is doing great with his therapy. He is acting like a new kid! He is more social and using more words everyday; sporadically but I’ll take it. His swimming classes have paid off and the boy is a little fish. Every class we are amazed at how far he can swim before coming up for air!
Chris is super busy at work but that’s normal. He is also back to rugby so that makes him very happy.
I‘m busy with the BAMBI News and Expat Kids magazine and I love it! Tomorrow I meet with Killi’s doc to discuss the next step with therapy and Killi’s trail run at school, which is very exciting. I am sure it will take up my mornings but I am so happy and proud of Killi’s progress I don’t mind!
We will be traveling a lot over the next couple of months so there will be many posts and photos for you to enjoy, full of travel tips on places like Hong Kong (Disney World), Cambodia (Siem Reap), Koh Samui and Koh Tao. I desperately need out of Bangkok! It’s always nice to get away so I can appreciate it again.
Keep a look out for more posts in the coming weeks!
Until next time…
Parenting is just one big game of dodge ball
I knew having a special kid would change my life and my perception of what “parenting” was all about. I know we all have our moments with our children; good and bad. Although, sometimes I feel as if I am a women stranded on a deserted island making smoke signals and screaming for help. Similar to Tom Hanks in Castaway but instead of having Wilson (who mind you doesn’t speak) I have a toddler screaming at me in frustration because he is trying so hard to communicate but simply can’t get the words out.
