Sorry so late, just haven't had a chance to post lately!!!
Thank you all so much for the birthday wishes for Raven!!!! She did have a great day She got to go swimming, which is her favorite thing to do, & eat slim jims!!!
I cannot believe she is 7 already, where has the time gone?!? I notice there a quite a few newbies on the board...Welcome everyone!!!
This past year has been a great one for Raven....she started walking on her own last September...yay!!! Didn't think it was EVER going to happen, but it did. She has had a great school year...we opted for her to go to an MRDD school. I think it was a good decision on our part. We wanted to do inclusion, but it just wasn't going to work...she needs a bit more, & the payoff has been wonderful. She loves it & the staff is wonderful. She has made so many strides that we had to make an entire new IEP for her....that has never happened!!!! It is a great feeling to go into an IEP & feel good about all the goals & meeting goals.
Just wanted to say hi to everyone too & try to be more active I swear I don't know how some of you do it, I usually have time to read some posts, but whenever I try to respond.....the kids seem to have radar for it & I get lost in something else I should have more time when school starts, though Not only will Raven be in school all day, but Abbi starts kindy & Emily starts preschool, I'll only have the baby home for a bit....I am looking forward to it
Take care!!!!
