Ding Dong what?

Oh my goodness! What a week so far... Zachary had his first school fieldtrip on Wednesday and since Dan knew about it, after a lot of tears he ended up skipping school and coming with. We went to sunny acres in West Chicago and I have to give the teachers credit, that was alot to watch over. They both had a great time and then Jay met up with us afterwards, man was it cold by 6pm. Later on that evening we were working on Dan and Zach's homework when the doorbell rang 5 times. I ran downstairs thinking maybe Jay had somehow locked himself out (yes- he does that alot- don't ask) but there was a bag with a note. Of course your first thought is did someone put poop on your front porch, so I did'nt step on it! Instead, it had candy in it and a note. Two minutes later we saw young kids running down the street laughing. We had been "booed". I guess the point is to then do the same thing to three other friends. I think it was from the 5th grader down the street. Dan rides the bus home with him, and 2x's now it has come more than 10 minutes early and left him sitting on the corner waiting for me. This nice boy seems to like Dan alot and will stand with him. It is very cute how the neighborhood kids watch over him! Soooo... tonight we got 6 bags ready and set off to Boo someone. The boys did not actually understand what we were doing, so I made the mistake of telling them we were playing "ding, dong, ditch". Now, I know my kids have speech problems, but I never even thought that "ditch" rhymed with other not so friendly words! We got in the car and they said "lets go play ding, dong, bitch!" I was laughing so hard that they just kept repeating it! They had no idea what they were saying, but when we rang the first doorbell, the mom came out before we could run away and he smiled and said: " Hi- we are playing ding, dong, bitch!" I almost had a heart attack. Why is it that when you want them to be understood, you can't understand a word they are saying, but when it comes to "bad" words (as spongebob would say) they are clear as a bell!
I also got a chance to talk with Dan's teacher today, she told me his writting was fantastic today and she is going to email me with a report of how he is doing in school. She was so positive about him and his progress. I can't wait to get the email. Maybe things are finally looking up for the Juszko family. Well, I can't complain, we have had a great year with alot of progress. Zach is doing wonderful at school. Even though he is a little devil at home and Jay say's statesville has a cell waiting for him one day, he is the total opposite at school. He sits quietly and answers all the questions and NEVER fights. I am thinking about having Zach's teacher over- indefinetly! Zach is just a true boy. He likes karate and scooby doo and beating up his brother until mom's veins are popping out of her head from screaming. He has a smile that almost makes him able to get away with anything- almost- and then he says "sowwyy" (sorry). Acedemically, Zach will be fine, physically- he will be lucky to see the age of 6! Ding, dong, bitch... sorry, I can't stop laughing about that... sure hope their teachers don't ask them what they did last night.
Just a little FYI for any moms: Scholastic puts out kindergarten and higher workbooks- they are terrific. I know alot of mom's that are reading this have kids with disabilities, so if you get a chance, order them, you won't be sorry. Also, if you are in the Bartlett area, we have a great pdd support group on the third wednesday of every month at Independence preschool, stop by and give it a chance, you might learn something new. I always do! Good night
