Parent Teacher Conference

Hi all! Fall is finally coming here in AZ.  Which means parent teacher conference time. Gregory's dad and I met with Gregory's teacher last week. She said for the most part he is doing better and progressing . . . but he is no where were he needs to be. She said he would benefit from a smaller classroom. She said he does much better one on one and she just can't do that with him as much as she would like to. She said it wouldn't be anything that would happen this year but maybe talk about it at his IEP for next year. Hmm . . . And more than likely he will need to repeat kindergarten. My mommy's heart got a little teary eyed hearing this. Its like you know your child's daily struggles but hearing it in a more formal atmosphere makes it all more real. After the meeting I asked Gregory's dad what he thought . . . he is always good about putting things in perspective . . . he said Gregory has come so far since August, who knows where he'll be at in May. And he's right. Another example of how I'm always reminded to just take life one day at a time. No since in worrying. Just going to work more with him at home. Going to look at getting him a weighted vest to wear at school. Do more heavy work. See what happens.

Therapy.

Gregory is back in OT again! We love our therapist! We're going to Fiesta Pediatric Therapy! They are great. He goes every week! 

He'll hopefully go for Speech and Physical Therapy as well! Keep you posted!

Sensory Sand

I saw this on Pinterest awhile ago. Sunday Gregory and I decided to give it a try. Gregory LOVED it and played with it a long time! Its so soft, great sensory input and smells good! I got the recipe here.

Gregory's Birthday!

I never told you the awesome sensory things Gregory got for his birthday!

His Mamo, momo, and grandpa got him the tunnel thing that feels good to him when he crawls through it. He loves it! And they got him the book, "Squirmy wormy".

Papp and Mimi got him this awesome sensory ball. You can do all sorts of play and exercises on it. He gets lots of input with it.

All these things were so awesome! And he loves and uses them all! Thank you guys! xoxoxo
