Joseph completed 2 weeks of Kindergarden. I am amazed how quickly he is catching on and I feel silly for worrying so much. I had plans of homeschooling but with his language delay, Kinder is the best place for him. I cannot praise Riverplace Elementary enough for the great job they are doing! Joseph loves school and looks forward to it every morning.
He is making friends and fitting in great. His disability hasn't slowed him down and the kids doesn't treat him any different because he walks with a walker. Here is the picture from Joseph's first day of Kindergarden at lunch.
Joseph got a new T-shirt, he is so proud of it he wore it home from school. As you can see, it is huge...this late in the school year, there was not much to choose from. I washed it in hopes it will shrink but it didn't :(
Fairy Tale Parade the first week at school. He went as a pirate.
Thanksgiving event at school and the Kindergarden put on a great show of singing and dancing.
Remember the playhouse we made with an empty box? J likes playing in it and wanted to sleep in it one night. We put a pillow and a blanket in his playhouse and Mark crawled in with J and read him a book.
What little boys don't like super-heros? J looks so cute in his Batman hoody.
Joseph had his first play-date from school. McKenna lives across the street from us so it works out really great. J loves McKenna and can say her name perfectly. He speaks of her almost everyday and wants to know what she is doing. They play well together and McKenna is patient and sweet with J. They both like to get their faces painted.
J likes to cook...he may become the next big Chef.
We finally had an opportunity to take J to "Play for all Park" in Round Rock. This park is design for kids with disabilities and it is amazing! It is wheelchair accessible so J can run around with his walker and play. The park is about 30 minute drive but worth it. Perfect place to spend the day.
J's grandparents came to visit for Thanksgiving. They were here for a week and it was so great to see them with J. J can say grandma and grandpa clearly and I love to hear him say it. I hope J can see them more than once a year. I want him to grow up having a close bond with them.
How our lives has changed! Last year I did not put one Christmas decorations. Day after Thanksgiving we picked up a 9 feet tree from Costco and put it up. I was surprised I had enough decorations for the tree. I am looking forward to getting some ornaments from school J will make. We are all looking forward to celebrating Jesus's Birthday! Yes, with a cake too!
My three kiddos eating together! Can't believe girls are old enough to have wine.
