Farewell September

Posted in Creekwood Academy

Where does the time go? I'm amazed that it is the end of September already. I meant to blog at the end of each school week and summarize what we learned, but that idea got lost in the shuffle really fast. I still want to do a recap of each week - we'll see how this week goes. For now, I'll give a brief summary of this past month, in a nutshell (the "natives" are getting restless):

The first week of the month was spent in doctor appointments and an eye exam under anesthesia (DS won't cooperate to have a regular eye exam & doesn't understand why we need to do them either), and a parent/teacher welcome & info meeting before the EI preschool year starts.

On September 6 my parents celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary. Wow! That's very rare in this day and age, sadly. DS started his weekly EI preschool class again that week. We also had a formal ASD (autism spectrum disorder) screening for him, followed by an official diagnosis [sigh]. I haven't processed all that data yet (emotionally or mentally).

Our first official day of school was September 14. On Mon/Wed/Fri mornings while DS is at his preschool class, I get to work one-on-one with DD. After lunch on weekdays, and on Tue/Thu we get to have "school" together. We cut our school-week short to go visit grandma and help make applesauce. Even DS helped! It's yummy too!

Since our first week of school was cut short (lesson wise), I decided to push our calendar of lessons back a week and continue week one the following week. This proved to be a good idea since we are still trying to get used to the new "school-time" routine and not everything works as scheduled. We also received the doctor's report from DS's autism screening (still trying to absorb all that info).

And now this week - yesterday was picture day at the EI preschool. Last year DS did very well (he loves getting his picture taken - I think its the flash he loves more than anything), so I am eager to see the photos from this year. We have had two good days for school-time, and I am hopeful that the rest of the week will go as well (or better?). I'll have to let you know...
