Hello! Long time, no post. As I mentioned, sometimes life get's busy. That is so true for our family.
Jocelynn is now ten years old. I am still a stay at home mom. Michael is working at Safeway. Myranda is now engaged to her high school sweetheart, Trent. They have a very nice apartment, in the valley.
Jocelynn is supposed to be in the fourth grade at Riverbend Elementary School. Because of her increase in Autism meltdowns, and self injurious behaviors, she has been out of school since the
middle of October. Before that, she was at school, not in the classroom so much, as walking in the playground, hitting her head against the school building and the ground, itself. The school district ordered a special helmet for her, that we are yet to see. Her school days were being cut. So, when her teacher fell ill, and was out on medical leave, we just has Jocelynn stay home, because the two DEC-C classes were combined. What a nightmare. They had no idea what they were doing, and we were not going to subject our daughter to that. We had a meeting with the school district, Or we tried to, and they had the idea of letting Jocelynn go swimming to get her used to the staff at her school, and then find a more suitable environment for her to learn. It is now, ending the month of February, and she is still swimming with the same lady and the same two ladies, driving her home from the pool. We are looking to set up another meeting for the middle of March. We will see how that goes. Michael and I have become very impatient, as we feel that Jocelynn's education has been swept under the rug by the school district. So, we are looking into disability law for some ideas. We feel like the school district has had plenty of time to figure out a safe place for Jocelynn to learn. We try to do what we can do at home, but Jocelynn thinks of home as a place to relax. She does have plenty of books, dvd's , games, and her I-pad, that have a lot of educational value. and she loves to learn. It really is a shame that the district has not utilized her potential. She is a very smart girl.
We wish she could go back to church, I think she would enjoy it. There are a lot of younger children there, and they tend to do a lot of screaming. We are not giving up. Michael is the adult Sunday school teacher, and I enjoy teaching the children's Sunday school class. It has been so much
of a blessing, and a learning experience for the both of us. I adore the kids in my class. They come from wonderful families, and these kids know their Bible stories! I love them all. They are ages from 4 years old to 12. Two girls from my class were baptized, this past weekend. I am so happy for them. One girl, that has turned 12, and will be going on to the teen class, was also baptized with her parents. So, we had 5 people baptized, this past Sunday! Praise The Lord! I wish I could have been there, but I stayed home with Jocelynn. I was so happy that Michael was able to attend.
Well, that is just a glimpse of some of the new things going on in the lives of the Boisvert Family. There is a lot more, but I had better go see what Jocelynn is up to. God bless you all. I will try to remember to write more soon.
