The Big Day

Tuesday was the first day of pre-school.  We were nervous that Riley would have to miss it because he wasn't feeling well over the weekend but by Monday he seemed fine so we decided to let him go. We've been talking it up more and more over the past few weeks hoping to get him more excited.  We went to the pre-school open house a couple weeks before and he had mixed emotions. He recognized Miss Jen the speech therapist which was a big plus but he was upset the rest of the time.  Marc walked him around and showed him his stander and his big exercise ball which he seemed to recognize and was a little excited about but it was hidden behind a lot of tears.  We were given the option to let him go more than twice a week.  We didn't know that this was an option but after some discussion and some encouragement from his home OT and Speech we decided it would be a better fit for him to go more on a consistent bases so the plan is to start him going Monday through Thursday (a little kink in that plan).

The hardest part about school is getting up early yawn

Big boy all ready to go. Thanks Grandma Ogden for my handsome new school shirt!

 But the BEST part of school is the bus ride! The day started off a little rough but Nurse Marsha said that he did pretty well over all.

"yeah mom, school was pretty great"
