Kindergarten here we come....

Kindergarten Kickoff did not go so well...I pulled into Dixie's parking lot hoping and praying that it will go smoothly! We walk into the school which at this point he is already screaming and kicking. I JUST WANT TO GO HOME...PLEASE MOMMY TAKE ME HOME. It just breaks my heart!

I sign in and get his folder all the while he is glued to me. I am holding my purse, his folder, and him. Trying not to drop him--he really is getting hard for me to hold since he is so long. They direct us into the library where he is still screaming and crying. Did I mention he is still glued to me?? Oh yeah...now we are sitting in the chairs with him still glued to me trying to fill out a questionnaire about him. They see that he is very upset so a teacher comes over and takes us into a room by ourselves so he can try and calm down. At this point I am starting to get hot and wonder if he will be okay. We are in a room with his kindergarten teacher and his speech therapist trying to get him to relax. Thirty minutes passes and he is still upset and crying, will we be able to get him to calm down enough to answer the questions that they want to ask. They leave the room for a minute or two...during that time I finally got him off of me and calmed him down.

Only one teacher returned while I had him drawing and calming down. Finally after about 40 minutes he would start to answer questions and cooperate a little. I have to say his Kindergarten teacher was very patient and compassionate toward him. Everyone wanted to meet Tyler and wanted to comfort him. People that I don't even know and ones that won't be part of his team for Kindergarten.

Later in the afternoon we had a home visit from his Speech Therapist and the Resource room teacher since Dixie now has home visits for Kindergarterners. Went better at the house...maybe because it was a familiar environment for him.

Been quite a while....

It has been quite a while since I have posted anything on here so I felt compelled to do so. Let's see where to start...oh yeah the boys. Cameron has been a little stinker. Every time you tell him no or that he can't do something he has a complete melt down in the floor and pouts. OH to be a 2 year old. On another note for Cameron--he may be attending head start at Dixie in the fall due to his speech therapy. We won't know until closer to time but I think he would be so excited to go there and learn new and exciting things.

Now for Tyler...Tyler has been doing okay. He has had a couple of seizures in the past couple of weeks. He got bit on the head by something and got it infected. OH the life of Tyler. He did have a graduation from preschool a couple of weeks ago and he did such a great job. So hard to believe that he will be starting Kindergarten soon. Will post some pics soon.
