Katie is in the process of transitioning into an ECCD - or speech and language impaired - classroom, as she turns 3 tomorrow and will be eligible to attend 5 days a week. This morning went fairly well, although she was crying when I went to pick her up after class. She doesn't like to have to do things "out of the box" -- she would rather just "free-play" all day. She did say "go home" while we were walking out to the car with her Occupational Therapist (OT) so that was encouraging. She is so tired.
Both she and Mary have been fighting bad colds - and they both have been cranky - which didn't help with her therapy this morning. Karen (the OT) said that she could tell Katie wasn't 100%. We have Katie's IEP (Individualized Educational Plan) final meeting on Monday to get her set up for her new classroom. We are praying that they will authorize an aide to be in the classroom 5 days a week with Katie. Right now they only have an aide for her on Mondays and Wednesdays, but we know that God will provide just the right person for Katie -- and hopefully by next week :)!
We are just planning a small birthday party for Katie -- she doens't really like all of the crazy-ness and loud noises. Just our parents and possibly Bill's sister and her husband. That will be plenty for her......
