Hi Folks. Thanks for following along this road, though it is harder and harder to find the time to update and sit down to write a post during reasonable waking hours (2 am is not the best time to collect my thoughts...). For the time being, the kids are playing and Jack is not crawling all over the place. So here goes a quick update!
D is going to be evaluated/tested for wraparound services. From what I have gathered by setting up the appointment and filling out initial paperwork, it seems it will be more of the same testing. It will be interesting to se if this psychologist comes to the same conclusion as the first. The goal here is to have services in place *if* he should need them at school.
Speaking of school....
School starts in the end of August. And while the little D man is super excited (as is Ava for her pre-school), I am feeling nervousness and anxiety over how he's going to manage the classroom setting. I am so glad that he is anticipating the start of Kindergarten! Yet, I worry about how he will get along with his peers, respond to the teacher, and manage performing required schoolwork when it doesn't line up with his desires. I spoke with the principal of his school, and she asked that I send along his paperwork/diagnosis information and we could basically just handle issues as they crop up...I trust her experience in this area and pray this approach works for D.
There are some logistical issues that have me worried as school starts. Our district only buses the kids one way, with no mid-day buses. So, I am left to drop Ava at preschool at 12:30 pm, then Dylan to his school by 12:45 pm...with a toddler in tow. Whew!
Please keep us in you prayers. For Dylan's testing this week and for him to have a smooth transition to school and the work that it entails. For me as I begin to play "Mom Taxi" driving the kids to/from school. For Ava as she starts in preschool and learns how to play with others besides her brothers.
Well, Jack has emptied the DVD's and is now pulling at my leg... I thinks it's my cue to sign off.
I'll be back with an update after the testing on Friday.
Thank you for your support!
xoxo
