David

David is in Early Childhood Pre-K at Greenwich again this year. It is for preschool aged children who have delays in one or more areas. Age wise he could have started K, but we did not feel he was ready so we got permission for him to attend the Special Ed Pre-K for one more year. My preference would be for 2 more years but I don't think anyone would agree to that. He is developmentally like a 3 year old.

He started speech and language therapy at WSU this week. He will be going twice/week. Today was his first day. He did not want me to leave him in the therapy room, he tried to attach himself to my arm, and then his lip quivered. Poor guy! He had fun once they started though. I think next time will be easier. They wanted me on the observation side, so he wouldn't be distracted by my presence in the room. I watched and listened through a mirrored wall. Ellie was with me, and she was very well behaved for the hour of David's speech therapy. (Thank you iPod.)

I haven't posted many photos of him lately so here are a few-

Ellie's first day of preschool!

This morning Ellie started preschool!









She has been very excited to start preschool. Once we got there though, she got scared and said "I changed my mind, I want to go home with you, mommy!" I almost cried, but I didn't because that would have made her upset.

One of her wonderful teachers picked her up and hugged her, and then distracted her with playdoh. I gave Ellie a kiss and told her I would be back soon to pick her up.

I can't believe it's already time for Ellie to start preschool. I remember Abby's first day like it was yesterday. :)
