Cold and fun

Well today was coooooooold and kido and I spent the day outside walking dogs for the local animal rescue league. We were at the movie theater where the move Hotel for Dogs opened. The league managed to adopt out 9 dogs today which is wonderful. We had a great time and it felt good to be outside but was very glad we had on good coats as it was in the low 40s.

Another dog activity I am enjoying is the sled dog racing has begun again for the year. I live way to far south to learn to mush but would love to. I have a husky/lab mix and started learning about it when I got her. I am really enjoying keeping up with the different races online and lol our 40's for temps is better than the musher's last weekend that had 40 below temps.

Days are going ok here most are good and it's very good to be kind of even not great days not bad just good stretch of even days. The days seem to be doing quickly.

I have a student who is 5 and his mom called me today to tell me that he for the first time in his life had sat up for almost 15 minutes in the floor unsupported. It makes me think of how thankful all those who have children with out problems should be but it also made me sooooo estatic felt like jumping up and down and running over to see it but I didn't. I will have him do it for me Tuesday. I know it sounds strange but the little things like this are what make it possible to teach the kids I do every day. One has to be excited over the little bitty things and they make the days of very little progress seem manageable.

Well I hope everyone who takes time to read this blog is having a wonderful day and if not is able to find one small thing in the day to see as positive. Love all of you.
