Speech Therapy and Kindergarten - Oh my!
For those of you who don't know my third son, he is a total character. He is so full of personality and ENERGY!!! I am sure we are up against an ADHD diagnosis - he is totally hyperactive! And though he keeps me on my toes, he is the most loving and grateful child and brings so much joy and laughter to us!Recently he started speech therapy, something he has really needed for a while, but I just didn't get it done along with our move and stuff. He goes to my older son's school with a speech therapist who seems to really enjoy him and know how to handle David's energy level. David LOVES speech therapy. He loves the therapist, and refers to Mr. Sheeler as "his friend." One day I told him we were going to go to the park when we were leaving therapy. He said he didn't want to. I said it would be fun because he could play with friends. He informed me that he had already played with his friend that morning (referring to Mr. Sheeler). Last week when I took him to speech, he asked me if I would please drop him at the door of the school because he knew where his classroom was and did not need me to walk with him. I could not do this, of course, because I have to sign in. But he ran ahead and beat me to the room! Something tells me that he will not have tears on his first day of kindergarten! But I might!

 The first day of kindergarten didn't get me, but the first day of T-Ball did, two years in a row.  Watching them enjoy something you did as a child is REALLY cool.

 I cry like a baby at all the kiddo's milestones.  I cried went she moved from parent particpation class at My Gym to the big kid non-parent participation class.  Ugh.  I cried when she potty trained.  I cried when we got rid of her crib.  I cried her first day of preschool. 

I'm sure you will cry that first day of kindergarten.

 I still remember when my babygirl was too shy to run to anything new.  She never had separation anxiety per se, but still, this is a kid who walked at 13 months because she spent an extra couple months holding onto things when she didn't really need to.  But now, she just takes off.  And you know, it makes me smile to watch her do it.
