So Nathan is doing well at school! He really is enjoying going and though Chris and I think it's academically a bit of a waste of time it's definitely good for him! His teacher spotted me today and talked to me for a few minutes. She said Nathan is doing very well and she seemed excited about it. I think they all thought he would be more of a challenge.
It's very quiet during the day with him gone. He makes a lot of weird noises and he is very loud and with him gone the house is very quiet! Emma seems very content to do her thing!
Today we walked to school..... well Nathan and Emma rode their scooters and I walked. The trip there was fine. Took 15 minutes but coming back was another story. Emma fell and got the tiniest scrape EVER and decided it was life threatening enough to whine about it the whole way home... and mommy ended up carrying her scooter and Nathan's. Not fun.
Nathan's teacher did say she plans on doing her best to get Nathan moved to 1st grade reading. I could tell the way she was saying it implied she really believed K reading was a waste of time for him.
Also I am 18 weeks pregnant today! Hooray!
And I submitted my story to a contest and I am praying hard I will win because if I do I get published! Hooray!

Better Late than Never
Trying to send out a quick update!
Today we meet with Nathan's teacher and then directly afterwards we meet with the school psychologist to get the 504 in place and to discuss the PT and OT Nathan will continue to receive.
Pray that we can talk with his teacher in a way that does not offend. We have no problems with the Kindergarten curriculum but we want to make it clear that Nathan will need "more" than what might be being offered. We were sent home a paper of what Nathan must know by the END of the year and he already knows these things.
We also would like prayer that he will find good friends who are good influences. Nathan is very much an imitator.
He officially starts school on Thursday. I am excited for him but also nervous. He has never been to daycare, never to a pre-k, and not even in a Sunday nursery. He's always been mine to watch and care for and now from 9-3:15 I have to trust someone else to do the job I have done for the last five, almost 6 years now.
On other news I have made it to my 16th week of my pregnancy and it seems to be going well. I have an appointment on Thursday after I drop Nathan off at school.
Emma is busy doing her thing. I have told her she needs to work on her letters and numbers this year. She will start Kindergarten next year and she could care less about numbers and letters.
Today is also our wedding anniversary. 8 years!
I will apologize in advance for any typo's or spelling errors as I don't really have time to do a good edit.
