He did it!

Miles made it through his first day of school! I was a nervous wreck and didn't leave the class for the first 30 minutes. Then, I stood outside the room for the next 30 minutes. I left for an hour and tried very hard to keep busy. I came back 15 minutes before the class ended to see how he was doing and he was doing great. Having fun, listening to the teacher read a pumpkin book. As the teacher was passing out the paper pumpkins, he yelled "I want a funkin!!"

Now I just have to survive the next few classes and then maybe

I will be ok with it. My little boy has never been away from me so this is very hard. He's my third child, the baby. He will always be the baby to me!

Next wednesday

Miles starts school next Wednesday! I just don't know how I am going to make it through the day all by myself. I'm already having a tough time getting through the day with my other two children in school all day. Miles will only be in class for 2 1/2 hours but he's my baby! How am I going to come back to a quiet house and be alone? I feel like I'm doing the wrong thing putting my baby in school. My other children didn't go to school until they were 3 and 4. Is this unfair? I'm sure he would get along just fine without the early intervention classes. But I really want him to be able to attend preschool next year as having a disability so he can get into the public preschool we have. They have a lottery and disabled children get in without being put into the lottery. Is this being selfish? Help! I need advice from other people!

Toddler group

We got the word last week that Miles will be attending "big boy school" here in just a few weeks! Omg, I knew it was coming but I was just shocked! My little boy will be going to school without mommy 2 days a week, 2 1/2 hours at a time. And he has to take a backpack! It's going to be so hard for me at first. I don't think I'll be able to go home for the first few days. Going home to an empty house will just be too much!

So for those of you who don't know, Miles has been attending early intervention classes once a week since March. It is a parent and child class. Children the

n graduate to what is called "toddler group" which is either 2 or 4 days a week. I chose 2. Toddler group is without parents. It's going to be such a big help with Miles speech and other skills. I know it will be good for him but I have a million worries. Especially about Miles vomiting. I just really hope he doesn't do it at school! I wish he would just grow out of it but it doesn't seem to be happening.

Anyways, thought I'd share the news! Thanks for reading!

Miles at early intervention class

Miles loves school! I'm just posting some pictures. Not much going on here lately. I have an IEP meeting for Roland today. And Miles will be evaluated by the PT because of his toe walking. Other than that, just lots of homework and such. Hope you enjoy these pictures!

Miles loves firetrucks!

Miles got to see all kinds of firetrucks yesterday! It was little boy heaven! He even got to sit in one!
My baby boy is getting sooo big!

This tire is bigger than he is!In a couple years, this kind of behavior will be the cause of awful sibling rivalry!

Some pictures of Olivia's Birthday!

She turned 6! I can't believe it! This year we had a tea party :)

A little update on the Fm system

We still don't have it! But the SLP did stop me after school one day to apologize about the misunderstanding and to assure me that the county audiologist would be coming to the school within the next week or so to get the ball rolling. I just hope they understand how hard I will fight for what my daughter needs to get a fair education.
Another thing, I've been curious about my daughters special classes (gym, library, art, and spanish). I asked her if she had trouble hearing in any of her classes. She gives me the "I hear fine in all my classes!" So I started questioning her "where do you sit?" Finally, she tells me that it's hard to hear in the library because the teacher talks too quiet. They do not use the soundfield system in her special classes. Now I'm kicking myself for not thinking about this! Her special teachers have not even been advised to use preferential seating. Well, off to e-mail the teacher about this before I forget.
