the first day of school! I have to say it was probably the best first day of school EVER! I am in love with my class. Its hard to believe that I could fall in love with them after just being with them for 3 days but I am. I am thankful to work with one of my best friends, Amber. Our Volunteer Grandma came back. She's a saint and she loves to rock "the babies." (as she calls them all, lol!) We have a new person in our room and she has jumped right in.
So far we have 8 kiddos. Which is plenty! We have to spoon feed 3 of them because of choking and/or fine motor issues. One of our guys is trying to be potty trained but as for the other friends... they are in diapers. I pray our changing table comes soon. Four of them are unable to walk.
Its pretty exciting this year, we have music therapy! The children love it. The district finally hung a swing in our room and they love it. The OT is going to order us another one so we can switch out. I personally like the one we have now b/c its strong enough to hold me while I swing holding a child. They're all pretty much non-verbal but its amazing the bond we all already have with them. As I said earlier, my goal this year is to make this a fun and exciting year for these kiddos!

Congratulations on a good start to the school year. School starts here on Tuesday and I am kinda looking forward to it, not really.. haha!
The swings are AWESOME. We use different attachments like a platform swing, a hammock which looks like a big silky blanket, and some kind of hammock that has a fishnet look to it. There are others but that is all that I can think of right now. Anyway, enjoy!
Glad things went well. We had all kinds of hiccups on this end. Glad we are FINALLY into the swing of things though.
I sooo wish they hung a swing in Makilys room. She would love it.
