Fun Day and Burns Park and Funland

The weekend weather has been gorgeous. We went to Burns Park and Funland today and Nathan had fun riding some of the rides.

Nathan had a good first few days of school. When we had the open house I told his teacher that he probably would not tell them when he needed to use the bathroom so I was sure there would be some accidents. Well the first day we picked him up the teacher said he would not go to the bathroom for her and kept saying he would go for Mommy when Mommy came, so he held it all day long which really surprised me. The next day was the same held it all day. The teacher suggested that maybe I could buy something as a reward for going for her. So we went to Walmart and we found some number stickers(actually they were poster board stickers)and he really wanted them so I told him that Mrs. Ross would give him one if he would go to the bathroom for her. When I picked him up on Friday Mrs. Ross said the numbers worked. So I was relieved that he did go for her so now I know he will be okay about the bathroom situation. He also brought home a little slip that said he got caught paying attention. I really like the class and feel really good about it. There is the teacher, speech therapist, and three para professionals in the room all the time. There are only 15 kids in the class. So he is getting close to one on one help. I hope everyone has a good week. Donald is leaving Friday to go to Wichita Falls to ride in the Hotter Than Hell 100 mile bike ride on Saturday.

First Day of School

Well today is Nathan's first day of Kindergarten. It was a smooth drop off. We got there and dropped him off at his class and Mrs. Ross(his teacher) had him hang up his backpack and then I told him to go sit at his seat(she had put there names on the table). The only problem was the other night when we were there for open house there was a number chart out well this morning it was gone and of course Nathan noticed that first thing. He kept saying, "Where are the numbers?" and was looking for them. He sat down and we said bye and when we were leaving I heard him saying, "Mommy and Daddy will be back later." So there were no tears. He did not cry and I know everyone will be shocked but I did not cry. But if he would have cried I know I would have. But he is going to be on my mind all day. But after meeting the teacher and seeing the class I feel really good about it and know this is where Nathan needs to be. I know he will do fine. Of course I had to take a few pictures.

Graduation Day

Today Nathan Graduated from North Hills Child Development Center. He did very good. He even wore his cap. He did not sing any of the songs, even though he has been singing them at home. All the kids did good. It was sad and tearful for me. I am going to miss the comfort of his special needs school and I am going to miss a lot of the people. Nathan has gone there almost 2 years and I have become attached to some of the people. It is a great school. But I know he has to grow up and I do feel real good about the class he is going to. We are going to go to the school next week some time so Nathan can see the school and I think they are having an open house the Monday before school starts. He starts on August 19. I did take a few pictures today. I hope everyone has a great weekend.

It is already August

It is hard to believe that it is already August and Nathan graduates from North Hills Friday and he starts Kindergarten on August 19. Time is just flying by. Nathan has gone for a walk with Daddy. He loves to go for walks with Daddy, so I decided to get on and blog a little bit. I hope everyone is doing good. It has been a rainy day. I think we set records for rain fall in July and it is the first day of August and was raining. We have our shingles sitting by the side of the house just waiting on the roofing company to get to us and put on our new roof. There are a lot of people in Sherwood getting new roofs, that hail storm was bad.

Mema Hullett is coming Thursday for Nathan's graduation on Friday. I still can't believe that he is about to leave North Hills. It is such a great school. But I do feel good about the class he is going to and I am a little excited too because he is growing up.

He was playing with his baby the other night and I thought he looked so cute so I took a few pictures. I hope everyone has a great week. I will probably post some graduation pictures and blog a little on Friday.
