New Endeavor

As if I didn't already have enough things to do in my life, I decided to take a class this semester. Since I got married so young the first time around (20), I never finished college. I have always wanted to complete my degree and promised myself that once all my kids were in school that I would start taking classes again. Since Dalin is doing so well, I decided to get a head start. I am taking an English Composition class. I like to write and thought it may be a good way to ease myself back into school. Anyways, it is an online class, and it started last week. So far I think I am really going to like the class. One of our assignments is to keep a journal via a blog. How convenient, since I am finally getting this blogging thing down!

On another note... I am feeling very blessed with how well Dalin is doing. He has been talking in full sentences and is constantly initiating conversations. I love it! He surprises me with something new almost daily. Today he asked me, "Is Cam going to basketball practice?" Last week on the ride home from school, the little girl we carpool with started to cry. Dalin turned and asked, "Why are you crying? What is wrong?" She didn't answer, so he repeated himself. I love that he is starting to become so aware of his surroundings and others feelings. I keep praying these breakthroughs will continue and that Dalin is finally emerging from the "Autism fog" that has clouded him for so long.
