Still in Helper Mode

Day four and Nathan is still loving kindergarten. Nathan spent a lot of time at the therapy center being a typical example for some of the special need children. Today, when I picked him up from school the teacher said he did “awesome.” They had to do a worksheet with a mix of addition and subtraction questions. Nathan finished early and helped a boy at his table that had added all the questions. He taught him the difference between an addition and a subtraction sign and helped him fix the questions he had gotten wrong. Nathan is now in a classroom with typical children and he still likes to help the other kids. The teacher acted like she appreciated the help because she still doesn't have an assistant in the room to help. She has 25 kids in the room all by herself. The parents were told that the classroom would be a 1 to 13 ratio. I hope they are able to hire someone soon.

I had been worried that Lauren would regress on her potty training now that she has started back at the center. Over the last nine days she has had no poopy accidents and only four pee pee accidents at the center. YEAH LAUREN!!!!

Two great stories about your munchkins! I am so happy Nathan is doing well in school. It also makes it easier on Mom. (I have about 9 days experience with kindergarten stress.) That is really positive about Lauren as well. She is getting back into her routine as well!

Hugs to the Reed family!

I have no doubt that Nathan will grow up always being a special kid. He has learned at a very young age what it means to take care of other's needs and also excel in everything he does. Good job, Nathan!

Yeah Lauren! Great job on the pottying, and also on being such a big girl going to school. Love you both!
