Soccer!

Posted by Kat in Boston, John, Julie, Kat, Life, London, Rachel

I signed Julie and London up for soccer!!! They will start in the fall. I have even offered myself as a coach for the 3 and 4 year olds! Poor Boston is going to be so upset but he is a little too young to start playing.

Today I also called about a sports group in town for kids with special needs. So many special needs activities are visually driven so I am not sure if there is anything that Rachel can participate in. I’m excited to speak with the woman involved regardless of what they have to offer.

Tomorrow John and I go into Childrens Hospital for a little bit of genetic counseling. The likelihood that John is a carrier of JNCL is very small. For those of you who are new to my blog, Rachel is the only product of my first marriage and as this is an autosomal recessive disorder, both biological parents have to be carriers for the child to become affected. The chances are very small that John (the biological father of my other three children and wonderful husband) is a carrier but we definitely want to rule out the possibility.

I am going to volunteer for a short while during Rachel’s last day of Summer School tomorrow. It will be nice to see how she interacts with the other children in her class. I feel really badly that I wasn’t able to make it into volunteer in Julie’s class during summer school. I used to volunteer a lot more than I have been able to recently.
