On the flip side...

...Alexis just passed a typical, beginning-level swimming class, of which she participated without a one-on-one assistant. This is a first for us, not just the passing of a typical class, also the fact she participated independently. I am quite proud of her.

She's also doing well with her studies. She's grasping concepts which have in the past been major obstacles. It seems regardless of the details of her education, she's learning and progressing and continuing to grow. What more could I ask for?

Here's to mixing strawberries and whipped cream in with the bowl of cherries,
Cheers!
