Progress

We made it!  We made it past the dreaded week 4.  This week, so far, she has been emotional.  Instead of screaming she is now crying.  It's not an angry cry though, it's a sad cry.  I would much rather deal with that though.  I've also felt like she has become much more affectionate.  She gives random hugs.  She seems a lot happier.  Our relationship is mending.   I don't feel like I have to constantly be nervous if she's going to be angry or mean.  It's been nice.  We definitely have seen these behavioral changes in her for the better.  Now for the academic changes..

             Last week, Kalie brought home her comprehension test and on it was the letter 'B'.  I was shocked.  And so excited.  That was the first 'B' that she has gotten on a comprehension test!  I had gotten so used to seeing the 'F' on there.  She was so excited too. 

    They get their tests back every Monday.  I was so anxious to look at her test this Monday.  You can imagine how excited I was when I saw an 'A' on the front.  We had just arrived at Brain Balance when I looked at this so I had to fight back the tears.  I gave her a high five and told her how proud I was of her.  I could tell that she was proud of herself which made me even happier.  After celebrating her good grade we went in to Brain Balance.  She went off and did her thing and I met with Brianna, one of the teachers there, to go over her progress so far in the program.   In her visual she has gone up in all of them and met her goal on one! In her hearing she has met her goal and gone up.  In her touch she has gone up, her core strengthening rocketed up, and her balance work ha exceeded the goals.  We found out that she's in second grade math right now.  She will actually sit down and read a book.  She's remembering what she is reading.  It's just amazing. 

       I love seeing progress.
