Monday, Cecilia went to her school for an evaluation and to be assessed. Her teacher (Ms. Smith) took her into the classroom by herself and I filled out paperwork. Then when Cecilia got out, on the way to the van I tried to get as much info out of her as I could...she was saying she couldn't remember and I think maybe she didn't want to talk about it or something, but I think I eventually got it all out of her. She had to sit and read a book quietly for awhile....then write her name on a piece of paper and cut it out. Then draw a picture (which she drew of herself and me). Then grouped things together like pets, things you play with, and things you ride on. Also did a pattern (blue red blue red etc). The teacher asked who was in her family so she told her everyone. I think that was it.
She was a little shy and scared about going to school for the first day today (wednesday). When we got there, I helped her hang her backpack on her hook and she got a name tag and then had to sit on a yellow line on the floor (there was a blue line and red line too). Then we left. Her day goes from 11:50am-2:45pm. It was strange just being home with Anthony and Daniel this afternoon, but it was good. Then we picked Cecilia up from school and she was VERY excited and LOVED it. She likes her teacher a lot and was asking when she gets to go back. :) So I think she'll adjust well. :)

Random: Thoughts on having a Blog
Ok. Seems I can't keep a blog updated to save my life, and then I finally realized why. One day I was pondering the meaning of blog-life, and thought "Why is it I can never keep my blog up to date?" So here's the reason. Simply put I don't know my audence. Let me explain...
When someone writes a blog, do they write it so their friends will have updates? Is it for Family? Close friends? Aquaintances? Totally random people who might read?
I guess the thing is this....since I'm unaware who my audience is (specifically), it's difficult to write. I could write my random everyday thoughts, feelings, complaints, concerns about things I find "important", sort of a "Dear Diary" if you will, but doing so would mean potentially the whole world could see what I write. And maybe I don't write it so much as a "Dear Diary" but then what would I really write?
Maybe the question should be "What is a blog for?" Is it to be used like a diary...I know some people use it that way. Is it just for information?
Do I write it with the knowledge that potentially anyone (family, friend, foe) could read it, and not post any thoughts/comments that might "offend" people? Or do I just have a free for all, and post whatever I want, and if people get offended who cares?
Argh, what do I do?
So with that being said, I don't know how much, if any I will keep this blog thing up, but we'll see. :) Maybe I should just start anew and write whatever.
