Yeah!!!

We just found out today Gregory was accepted to Arcadia Neighborhood Learning Center Elementary School in the Scottsdale school district for Kindergarten!!!!!

This is an answer to prayer as we felt this school would be the best fit for Gregory! They have a more hands approach to learning (in a nut shell).

As you know . . . I have to know the plan . . . and to know where Gregory is going the beginning of the summer is just so awesome! So glad I don't have to wait!

This mama needs to brag for a moment . . . Gregory is doing so well in some areas that we have waited a long time for . . . and this mama is so proud!

1. (TMI) He is finally going #2 on the potty all the time!!!!!!! For those of you who know us well, we have been we have been waiting on this a long time!!!! No more poopy pants!!!!!!!

2. He can get dressed all by himself!!!! Thanks to his daddy and his step mom working with him he can now do it!!!! Wahoo!!!! Saves mama time in the morning. :)

3. He is getting much more comfortable in the pool! To those of you who know us well, this has been a huge struggle summer after hot hellish summer of him not wanting to go in the pool. He has taken swim lessons every summer since he was born. Well, I'm committed to taking him in the pool every day on the days I have him and its paying off. By the end of the summer he will be swimming! He has to! Its Arizona! And it doesn't cost anything!! Well, most of the time.

IEP

Gregory had his IEP meeting a few weeks ago. All in all it went really well. Kind of big one since this is the one that will carry him into Kindergarten!!! Cannot believe my little boy is going to be in Kindergarten!!!!

I'll try and give you just a general idea of how it went. Although Gregory has made progress, he is still delayed cognitively, in speech articulation, and motor skills.

We all worked together to come up with goals that will best help Gregory in all these areas. The IEP was very detailed so his new teacher will know exactly how to best help Gregory. He will benefit from the use of a part time aid. He will receive speech therapy and Occupational therapy. I'll keep you posted on any new information!
