She did it!!!

Taylor made honor roll!! Go Taylor!! We are so proud of her. She has worked so hard. Taylor is in the 4th grade and has never made honor roll. She has struggled so much and worked so hard to get where she is. She has sat through honor roll assemblies for 3 years and watched her friends go up on that stage that she so badly wanted to go up on. It broke my heart to know that she was so disappointed.
Taylor has to work so much harder for the things that come so easy to others. It has been a long road and many frustrated home work filled evenings. By the middle of 2nd grade I knew things where not right. I know Bill has a learning disability that has gone undiagnosed. But what we did see was that Taylor was exactly like Bill. We didn't have a name for it but their brains are definitely the same. Before 3rd grade Taylor was evaluated and diagnosed with an auditory processing disorder. That is really a broad catch all diagnoses. By the middle of 3rd grade we were testing for ADD. Oh boy does she have ADD! Bless her heart I don't think she could focus on anything. She started on medication and WOW!!! There is no other way to put it. She was like a different child. I don't mean she can sit and be still she didn't have behavioral problems. She sat really well but her brain was miles away!!
So bless her heart!! Taylor you did it!!
