Matthew Starts School!

What a whirlwind week! We had Matthew's first assessment review and IEP on the 23rd, he turned 3 and graduated from Sunny Days on the 25th and on Monday the 28th, he started his first day of preschool. He got to pick out his new backpack, he chose the Toy Story backpack and wore his Buzz Lightyear hoodie. Miss Dee is his teacher and he is in a class full of kids across the Spectrum. The dropoff didn't go without a little drama. We got there early, not sure how to anticipate the morning traffic and dropoff chaos. Of course, he didn't want to listen to Mommy and Daddy and took off running on the concrete and fell and busted his lip open. His first day didn't even start yet and he was in the nurse's office. When I picked him up, his aide Miss Kim told me that he was good but really had no idea what was going on. At one point, he was so confused, he started crying until he realized the next task was lunch and that meant going outside and getting to eat. Let's see what tomorrow brings. I'm hopeful and optimistic.
