[daughter] said to Dr. [home town therapist] that you did not receive the Talent Show DVD.  I can not mail this to you, here it is attached again.  I’m sending this to a multitude of your addresses to ensure that you receive it.  Please acknowledge receipt of the video or let me know if there are any problems.

Thanks.

[The Ex];

A few things...  I am aware of your receipt of the certified letter which you received on April 5th.  Please respond at your earliest convenience.

Again, I suggested Aug 1 - 15th for your vacation with [daughter] and would appreciate some sort of confirmation and/or acknowledgement.

I am waiting on confirmation to determine which Summer Camp program [daughter] will be attending.  I think she will be attending [home town] Regional Camp as she already has at least one friend already in enrolled but a lot of her peers from school will be enrolled there as well.  It is the most popular summer camp program in our area.  The program runs from June 21 - Aug 15.  She will miss the last two weeks but I think she’d rather spend two weeks with you than at Summer Camp.  On that note, she starts school again on Aug 30, 2010 which is why I requested the first two weeks, it will allow her two weeks to transition back to being at home.

[daughter] received her report card and of course she is shinning both academically and socially.    You will find the report card attached. if you have any questions please feel free to email me or call Mrs. [teacher].  She is having a very easy adjustment to the new school.  There are some things that she covered at [school] and some new things but she is excelling at everything.  The one tardy was a dentist and physician appointment as she needed to have her health forms filled out for school.

[daughter] has an orthodontist appointment as her teeth are coming in sideways which may or may not result in a horizontal impaction of both of her eye teeth.  This was discovered during her xray at the dentist and when we had her teeth sealed, the orthodontist consulted with Dr. [dentist].  The orthodontist will determine the best course of action.  Her appointment will be on April 19th.

It would also be great if you could send some of [daughter]’s personal affects... her therapist agrees that its important for [daughter] to have HER things to make her feel more at home.  If price is an issue, I can send you a pre paid box to facilitate this faster.  Although she stopped asking, she still would prefer a few of her personal things but she doesn’t feel as though you will comply with her wishes.  Dr. [home town therapist] feels strongly that she needs to have some of her belongings, even if you send things that I have sent her to keep up here, we would all be very gratefuX

She has transitioned very well to our home.  She eagerly does her chores and is thriving with such a set schedule.  She has gotten quite used to our diet and the subtle pages in our eating habits.  She is getting along wonderfully with her siblings, she is very affectionate with both [Step Mother] and myself and has really enjoyed spending time and getting to (re) know her extended family.   She is making a lot of friends and enjoying our many family friends who have children around her age.  She asked to do piano and swimming which we will soon begin.  She also asked about gymnastics but that will not be until next fall when the semester begins again.  I will let her determine which activities she likes but I stated that she needs at least one session swimming lessons.

[daughter] mentioned your divorce from [The Ex’s Current Husband], I am very sorry to hear things didn’t work out and the extent to which they didn’t.  It does explain why there was no response from the [last name] family...  [daughter] had asked to call Grandpa [The Ex's Current In-Laws] and I will defer to your best judgement on how to handle that request as I am unsure if things ended on a friendly note.

Also just to re-emphasize the contact schedule. Yesterday, I texted you three times and [daughter] left one message without a response.  The schedule is as follows: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday - [daughter] will be telephoning you at approximately 7PM.  I will text you a reminder at 7PM and/or try you directly as I have done so in the past.  Sunday if you are able, [daughter] will be available to [webcam software] or have a longer conversation.  On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, [daughter] will email you.  Please respond at your earliest convenience so that when she logs on, she has an email from you to respond to as she is sending you emails with no response.  She will also email your father and your mother on those days as well.  But of course [daughter] may call/email you or your family at any time that she requests to do so, outside and apart from the set schedule.  Please also forward the contact information for friends and other family for [daughter] to call and email at her leisure...

Again, if you have any questions, please feel free to email me!

Take Care!
