Can you believe Carter will be 3 in June? It seems in SO many ways like I just found this place and he was just born. My guy has come a long way!
We did this group screen which was a JOKE and go next week for the 1-on-1 and the next week for his staffing meeting. I am a nervous wreck already. All of a sudden I DON'T want him going to school! I have been so focused on when he goes to school I have not thought about what happens when he is THERE! We are HOPING they let him in for the summer for 6 weeks, then we will have a little break then the full year starts. Time, it does keep going by, doesn't it?
Anyone else do a group screen? This thing was such a waste of time. There were three other kids and their mms and five school people in the room. The others had various needs which seemsd mainly centered around they won't sit down if you pay them. Carter, on the other hand, sits there and does his thing and you have to pay HIM to get up and walk. We spent a lot of time by ourselves playing whilethey chased down the other kids. A therapist would stop by and ask some questions, ask him to do a few things, he would do them and that was it. Very anti-climactic. I'm thinking, I am here why? They can surely read the reports, yes? *sigh* I am HOPING this all goes well and am practicing saying things like "This is appropriate, that is not" without using words like "best" or "better". I am not very ecited, but very apprehensive. I will be SO GLAD when this month is over - it is so jam-packed with things going on all the time I get tired looking at the calendar.

I too wanted to keep Russell at home and tried and tried to think of some really really good reason, and our wonderul EI PT had BETTER reasons to let him go to EC.. and so, I let him. And he loved it!
