Ocean City 2006
Lots of fun was had by all the summer of 2006, as we made frequent trips to the Jersey Shore. This year, Jesse loves the water and sand.......last year he would tolerate it and then after about an hour he would start to get into the whole thing. Of course everyone loves the rides....Grace of course informs me that a few are scary so we just watch the boys! Jesse loves every ride known to man!
RDI annual conference/ 2006 Colorado
At the time of the announcement for the Annual conference, I was bummed. I was not officially working with a certified consultant, so it looked like the doors were closed for me. I had just started negotiations with my school district to have them pay for a consultant. Since I had tried to learn all I could about RDI on my own, I knew that the information would help me tremdousely concerning the new operating system. I was only a few weeks before the deadline, and an email conversation started between myself and ( I would find out later) someone who had some pull with the powers that be in Texas. I knew the school decision would not happen till after the deadline for registration, so fully expecting not to be able to go, but definitely praying to be able to go, I waited as this friend tirelessly pleated my case. Turns out she finally got the ok, and I was off booking airfare tickets and making plans for the trip to colorado which was less then 30 days away!
What I thought would be the highlight of the trip turned out to be one of the benefits of going, but definitely not the highlight. It was fantastic to see Dr G explain the many new facets of RDI, the new operating system, to hear the guest speakers. The best thing about the trip was the parents I got to meet that I *already* knew from the yahoo groups. We all had the best time! It was great to hang with everyone in the flesh, compared to cyberspace! :) These friendships are so special to me..........parents who totally get it!
Hopefully I will be able to go to San Diego for the 2007 conference........
