Things are changing... again.

Yet another long while since I've posted an update.  Too long.  One of these days I'll figure out a system.

Asher is still doing wonderfully in preschool.  He loves it.  He comes home with a good report every day, and he's always in a happy mood.

On the negative front, his physical therapist has left her position here in Clarksville and is going back to work at Vandy.  That pretty much sucks since there is no one else in town to take him to, not to mention that she was wonderful.  For now we will just be working on a home regimen until another PT comes to the area.  I know who I want to come, but even if she does decide to come here it will be a few months before that happens, so "Mom, PT" it is.

(and for the record, I'm not fooling myself into thinking I can actually do a PT's job, but I do think I can do at least some things considering my son is my only client, lol)

So that's that.

If you know of any good books or websites re: working with children who have movement disorders, let me know.  I have this one, but that's it.

My preschooler!

Asher has completed his first two weeks of preschool.  It's quite surreal to drop your three-year-old off at a local elementary school and then come home to... quiet.  His school day is five hours long, so it's quite the span of "me time."  I still don't know what to do with it!

Asher is doing fabulous.  I mean really.  Not, "I'm a mom so of course my kid is awesome."  He has seriously had one bout of fussiness, one afternoon, and that's it (well, and he did whimper for the first 10 minutes of his first day, but I'm not counting that - because I AM a mom and of course my kid is awesome - lol).  He comes home in a happy mood, and his communication folder has always had a note about how great of a day he had.  It rocks.

They've been doing the Icky Alphabet, Iggy Iguana, gray and purple, G/H/I, and of course various learning centers.  He came home Friday with some remnant green paint/marker on his hands, so he's been having fun with art, too.  Occasionally the kids get to go to the "treasure chest" and pick out a toy, I assume as a reward system.  Asher has two treasures so far.

He did miss Wednesday for a dentist appointment, which was quite traumatic - but that's another post for another time.  ;)
