We are a group of friends who have come together because we share the common bond of caring for someone who has Trisomy 21. We are here to share therapy tips, medical issues, laughs, accomplishments and yes, even frustrations. We embrace what Trisomy 21 has brought into our lives. We feel that it has taught us to appreciate the true meaning of life. We count our children as blessings! We will fiercely protect them and fight for their lives to be valued just as all other peoples' are. We share our pictures, our stories and our hearts here not only to provide friendship and support for each other, but also in the hopes that others will open their minds and their hearts to our unique children and, in turn, make a better world for everyone.

Guess Who Starts Pre-school on Monday?

He's getting a one-on-one aide in the classroom that I wanted for him. woohoo!

This morning on my long list of calls to make I called the school administrator lady and left a msg with her secretary to call me back. I said that we need to decide a date to set up the IEP revision OR re-schedule the Case Conference when she called back.

Weeelllll, when she called back she wanted to know when would be a good time to come in and finalize the IEP with the changes in place for EVERYTHING we'd discussed. I said, if possible, I'd like to do it today because dh has a vacation day and could watch my boys at home....so we DID IT!

Everything is in place for him to have everything I dreamed of for his pre-school education. I did adjust a few minor things, like he will only get one meal there. (they don't do a snack or two meals in the time frame of pre-school hours...not a big deal, I'd just hoped they could have more opportunity to work on feeding skills with him...)

Johnny and I go on Monday morning a little early to meet his aide and to give him a van load of his "stuff" to stock them up on his things. (pediasure, simply thick/honey, extra cup, diapers, extra change of clothes, inhaler/parts, [I can just leave his nebulizer and meds during times he might need treatments when I'm not there] glasses/case, hearing aids/FM system parts/extra batteries, that sort of thing...I'll probably remember more stuff later)


I'll be sure to take a couple of photos of his first day at school.
