Yeah! Summer Break

Yeah summer break has officially begun. Nathan's last day of school was Thursday and Friday we went to Magic Springs and spent the day then went to the Arkansas Travelers baseball game that night. So we had a fun filled first day of summer break. We are planning on going to Magic Springs tomorrow and go back next week. Nathan starts his occupational therapy next week. Then VBS is the next week and I am helping with Nathan's age. Of course the summer break will fly by since Nathan will only be out for 9 weeks and then he starts back to school on August 15. I am feeling good about next year. I talked to one of the paraprofessionals that was in Nathan's class and she said her daughter had Mrs. Bailey(the teacher Nathan will have next year)and she said she was wonderful and her daughter learned a lot. She also was a para in her room for a year. So I feel good about next year. I am a little nervous about Nathan having to be in a regular class all day but I know everyone up there knows what is best for him. We did have a appointment with his Dr. about his meds. His teacher said that he noticed that he had a hard time staying in his chair and the meds seem to be out of his system by 2:00 and school does not get out until 3:10. So his Dr. upped the mg. to 15. So he will start taking 15 mg. after this bottle is done. I hope everyone has a wonderful week.

It feels like Summer

It already feels like summer. We just skipped right over the 70 and 80 degree temps and jumped right to the 90s. They are saying next week it might get to 100. But that is Arkansas weather. But I am ready for summer and warm weather. We went to Magic Springs last Saturday and had a great day. We are planning on going there as much as we can because we always have a great time. There are 4 more days of school left, I am so ready for it to be over for the summer. They were supposed to get out of the 1st but because of all the snow days they go until the 9th. But they are not doing much now just trying to get ready for the end. I did find out today that the Assistant Principle is retiring. I really really like her and the school is going to really miss her. She said that she had to take care of some of the kids and Nathan was one of those by making sure he got in a good class next year. His teacher will be a different teacher than the regular 1st grade teacher he had this year which I kind of wanted him to have her again. But the Assistant Principle told me that the teacher he will have always has some of the transition kids in her class and works real well with them. She said the teacher is very structured and very routine. Which is what Nathan likes he likes to know what is going to happen and the order of things. There is also going to be a paraprofessional(aide)in his class and Nathan met her last week. The best part is she made sure Payton(Nathan's friend from Kindergarten last year)is going to be in his class. Payton repeated Kindergarten this year is a regular class he was in the transition Kindergarten class with Nathan last year and they became friends. So I feel better about next year. I took a few pictures of Nathan and Rachel today.
I guess I have rambled enough so I will stop for now. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.
