A great big Thank You to Mommy Myles, Daddy Jovy and Sir Ramil of Books for a Cause for granting us the privilege of receiving much-needed educational materials and furnishings from your former preschool. We are in awe of your generosity and your kindness will go a long way because all this will help so many generations of Special Education/Autism students. Thank You !
I started this blog as an alternative to talking to my mom who died so suddenly. It has evolved since then as an online journal for my family's adventures and misadventures - our travels, our dining out, our entertainment and so much more! Feel free to leave your reactions :)
Dylan helps with his class' room renovations
27 August 2017
What I've learned now that Dylan is in public school is that if you want something done for the class, you have to do it yourself. Today, my co-parents and I banded together to put up bulletin boards and Teacher's whiteboard and constructed stacking shelves for Dylan's class. Dylan was very excited to be part of a project like this and it taught him the value of working hard and appreciating the end result.

On Board the Mexican Training Tall Ship, Buque Escuela Cuauhtemoc
06 August 2017
Today, we went on board the Mexican Training Tall Ship, BE Cuauhtemoc, while it was docked at the South Harbor. The ship was at our port as part of its 2017 Instruction Cruise where 4th Year cadets of the Heroic Naval Military school will circumnavigate the BE Cuauhtemoc across 15 ports and 12 countries. They are also celebrating their Centenary of the Constitution and the 35th Anniversary of the Ship.

NDPR Finale: Sports Festival!
21 July 2017
The theme today is Speed because today is the last day of the National Disability Prevention and Rehabilitation celebration at Dylan's school! Their final activity is a Sports Festival and all Special Education classes are participating. That is why Dylan is wearing a "The Flash" shirt while I"m wearing a Ferrari shirt LOL
Assembly time was at 0730 and yep, even though it's a bit early for Dylan, we were both up and full of energy at this time of the morning haha
There were a number of sports activities that each class can participate in. Parents and teachers had prepared several loot bags for the kids who participate and special prizes for those who win in friendly competition with other classes.
Dylan participated in all 7 activities though it's too bad I failed to take pictures or videos of some of them because I was busy assisting and cheering him on haha

NDPR Week Continuation: Film Showing and Food Festival
19-20 July 2017
Continuing with the celebration of the National Disability Prevention and Rehabiliation Week, Dylan's class participated in a Film Showing (Day 3) and a Food Festival (Day 4).
You may wonder why there's a Film showing during NDPR week. It's actually to test how long these kids can sit, focus and watch a full-length movie. To normal people, sitting still for the whole length of a movie is a breeze. But for special kids like Dylan and his friends, it's actually pretty difficult.
On Day 4, the food festival was done to encourage kids to prepare their own meals and to teach them to appreciate good food. The kids made waffles!
