Aunt Patty stopped by this week with some awesome Halloween treats for the kids (and some yummy homemade cupcakes for mommy and daddy too). The kids had lots of fun coloring the crafts from the goody bags. John decided to help out with the messy markers by drawing on the kids. Thank goodness it washed off.
On Wednesday Nathan had his evaluation for his schooling when he turns three. At that point he will move out of the zero to three Early Intervention program and move into the program run by the school district. According to the psychologist it sounds like Nathan will most likely qualify for preschool 3 times a week. She thinks he would do best in an integrated school where there are mostly children with various needs but also some typical children. There is a lot to figure out between now and January. The school that is in our district only has afternoon openings which runs from Noon until 2:30. It is such a bizarre time since a lot of 3 yr olds still take a nap and it is right in the middle of lunch (the school just provides a snack). There are other schools and other options so we will be taking our time visting some schools and deciding what fits Nathan best and what fits our schedule best.
Riley had her 12 mth check up today. I had all 3 kids with me, we were at the docs for about 1.5 hrs but it went surprisingly well! I am so used to walking in and walking out but I guess with the cold season starting the waiting room was packed.
Riley got measured and weighed. She received 2 vaccines and the 1st part of the flu shot. We decided to hold off on the MMR vaccine for a few more months because Nathan had a bad reaction to it when he was 12 months old. So far there is no indication that Riley is on the spectrum. She is doing fantastic and right on target with everything. She is saying mama, dada, and she points and says juice when she wants a drink.
