I just realized that the blizzard was the last thing I blogged about. What a difference a month and a half makes! Today was warm, windy, and a bit delightful here in Central IL.
It is finally Spring Break, much needed for all of the Plato family. Yesterday and today, Ignatius and I ran/walked together. Yesterday, we were outside. Today, we went to 4 Seasons 1. I ran the track, he walked the elliptical and treadmill.
The exciting part was that I REALLY ran. I walked the first 5 minutes or so as a warm up (through the song, Dancing Queen), then I ran/jogged the rest through to the distance of a 5K (well, I stopped running at 3.2 miles). It felt pretty good, I have to say. I had been doing a run/walk for a while to save my foot, but I found today that just slowing my running pace was an OK thing as well.
The kids are great. We had Max's IEP annual review. That seemed to go well. It's very difficult to plan goals when he changes so much within a year. They are always willing to revisit his plan, which is nice. I have to start gearing up for continuing his education throughout the summer months. He's not always as receptive to mom wanting to do "academic" things with him. He will be attending "Autism Camp" for 5 weeks. That will work on social-emotional goals and maintaining social gains (I hope) that he has made this year.
Ignatius registered for high school at Central Catholic. He is really excited. I find it hard to believe he is of age, but it's coming. It hit me when we did not have to register for Holy Trinity for the first time in 9 years.
I am still crossing my fingers that the ministry at St. Pat's will catch on. We had a meeting during "Blizzard Week," where myself and Ellen were the two participants. We are trying again on April 9, this time offering child care and a bit lengthier blurb in the bulletin. If that doesn't work, this just might not be the time. But I can't say we didn't try.
So glad spring is here!
