Tax Free Weekend

Yeah! Arkansas finally decided to do a tax free weekend mainly for back to school stuff. But it does include shoes and clothes and a lot of other stuff. We went to the shoe store this morning and got Nathan some new shoes for school. Then we went and bought all of his school supplies so we are ready for school to start. Nathan has one more week of summer break then school starts. Next Friday is the open house at school. I am still a little nervous about him being in a regular class all day but I know he will do fine it will just be a change for him and me.

He has been going to Occupational Therapy this summer twice a week and she has been really working with him on his sensory issues. I posted a couple of pictures of him one with a little smiley on his face and one with a fish. It is real big for Nathan to let his OT paint on his face. I was proud of him because that is good for him. He will get OT at school but he does not get a lot(just one hour a week)so we think we are going to keep taking him to the same therapist after school probably once a week during the school year also. They think it will be beneficial for him and so do we. We have good insurance that covers 50 visits a year. So in Jan. his 50 visits will start again.

Nathan goes to the dentist on Tuesday. He has never really had a successful trip, she has been able to just look in his mouth and count his teeth. The OT that has the clinic that we take Nathan to offered to go with me. She said she has gone with other kids that have had trouble. She has a service dog, Omari and took him the other times. I don't know if she will bring Omari or not but I know she will be able to help. She is so wonderful and the best, it is her gift being an OT for kids. I will let everyone know how his trip goes. Just keep us in mind on Tuesday and maybe say a little prayer for us.

Well I guess that updates everyone. I will probably post pictures of the first day of school.
