Catherine Lacey: BoyStory

The best remedy

Today, booked a quinceañera, the elaborate wedding like celebration marking the transition to womanhood at age 15 in Latin American cultures. When home, I caught up with editing and tonight Reuben read The Emperor's New Clothes to me, but not before the boys had a good old wrestle in their bedroom. A beautiful evening. I need to spend one outdoors and enjoy the extra hours of light.

Reuben's IEP (special education plan) tomorrow after which we'll again go through mediation through an attorney to ensure he can stay on at the same school for Kindergarten, one more year. After that, I'm thinking he can transition to the mainstream with an aide.

Could easily have switched it out for this, onto of the most touching images ever of the boys together.
