1 birthday and a review :o)

Well it's halloween already but more importantly to me it is my babys birthday...18 today and now officially an adult and only seems like yesterday she was born...Time has flown by so fast and would rather keep them all young forever but we can't...Even if i do say so she's grown into an attractive, intelligent, sometimes too sensible young lady and i am extremely proud of her :o) ...I just so wish we could be with her today and am missing her more today than any other since she left for uni...But i managed to get the webcam all setup last nite...This one doesn't have an inbuilt microphone so last nite was just typing away and waving at her LOL...I have plugged in a mic today but not sure if it's in right place LOL...The boys liked seeing her on the cam last nite so hopefully it is going to help them...Now my K has never been much good at fibbing, not even little white fibs...Her whole face gives her away when she tries to fib...I reckon last nite she was trying to fib to me...Just before midnite her cam went off...She claimed it had broken down...Thought to meself hmmmm yeah right i believe you NOT...I knew her boyfriend was going over at around then to wish her happy birthday...I'd said to her earlier 'ohhh does that mean am gonna get to see him' ...She said she didn't know it was too soon and besides she wanted me to behave myself...Told her no way would i embarass her, no questioning him or anything...I would like to as most mums would but i wouldn't do it to her cos it's not fair...See i can be nice when i want to <ggg> ...Well at about 12:15am her cam was working again...And lo and behold he was there with her <ggg>  So would you have believed it wasn't working cos i bets you wouldn't <ggg> He seems like a very pleasant young man even though he was cheeky to me about my technical abilities...Apparently old people and technology don't mix well!!!!!...His mum is as bad as me he said LOL...IF this relationshop develops then i think me and his mum will have to have a chinwag ROFL

So this morning apart from missing K i had G's review meeting at school...I actually got a phone call at 8.45am saying he was ill and could i come take him home...Said no because i have his review at 11am but will take him back home after it...His review went well :o) ...I was pleasantly surprised that head of his base didn't slag him off for anything in this review...Wonders will never cease!!!...She has always had something derogatory to say usually his hair...Stupid <cossable) woman...My main concern in this review was what would happen for his exams...As i said before this is the school year where he sits his standard grades so very very important...So he is allowed extra time for them although it's only 20 mins extra...He is in a room on his own with an invigilator...Also he will get someone called a prompter...That person is there to just urge him on and make sure he can answer as much as possible within the time frame...Also that person is allowed to have a dictionary...So if there is any words he doesn't understand in the exams they can look it up and tell him what it means...This is not allowed in english exam though which is understandable...That is something new that was piloted last year and has now been introduced...Also he could have a scribe but that takes a lot of practise and not something i think someone with an ASD is best suited for...Instead of a scribe what will happen is after the exam is finished someone will transcribe what he has written...His writing is very messy and almost illegible unless you have learnt to decipher it LOL...Someone deciphering and writing down what he has written after the exam is to me a better option than the scribe during exam...Both papers then get sent off to be marked...It will be someone from the base who does the transcribing i just pray it isn't the head...Her writing it a nightmare to read LOL...All in all i was happy with the review and i have parents night for him on thurs...I didn't know about parents night being this week until saturday <sigh> The headmaster is going to try and fit me in as early as possible as M has athletics training starting again this thurs...If G does have same fluey bug i had last week then i'll have to phone them to get the appointment times........toodle pip tc xx
