We need to get better about updating this blog. We really have no excuse except that we have been busy. Busy doing normal things like going to school, homework, dancing, school and more homework and even more dancing. I love when our life is normal, I love when we can forget (not really) that Ashley has a life threatening liver disease. I love when we worry about other things unrelated to her liver disease.
Ashley is at a point in her life where she hates school. She loves some parts of it, her friends, language arts, her dance class, and lunch. She has always had to struggle to keep her grades at A's and B's. This year, her 8th grade year, we are seeing her grades drop especially in Algebra and Spanish. Of course, those two class are high school classes so I guess we should be proud that she maintains a C average in those classes. Because she asked and because we want what is best for her, we are working on getting tutors for those subjects. Her Algebra teacher is wonderful and has been keeping Ashley in class at lunch and helping her. I really think the reason Ashley has done so poor in math while in middle school is because her 6th and 7th grade math teachers were not that great. Her 7th grade teacher was the worst, and really truly should retire. I believe in Ashley and I know she will get this, get Algebra and get Spanish. Ashley is a lot like her mom, that's me. She excels in the arts, but academics are a struggle. However, she is doing much better than I ever did in school. I am so PROUD of her. I remember when the doctors told me that Ashley would be delayed mentally. She loves proving people wrong.
I would like promise that we will keep up with this blog but I am not good with promises. But we will certainly try to be better updates.
