It's been 6 weeks of fun and food! We welcomed our new baby girl into the world, celebrated Thanksgiving, Christmas and New years and now real life kicks back into full force! Back to weekly therapies for Carter, appointments and the big transition appointments to start pre-k. It's crazy to me how fast the last 6 months has gone...I remember thinking last summer how much time we had to prepare for Lily and school to begin. It felt like an eternity away. Now here we are...tomorrow is the evaluation appointment with the school district therapists, nurse and psychiatrist. One week from today, we will find out which school the county has chosen for our son. For almost a year, my husband and I have hoped with all of our being that he will get placed in to West Gate. It's a school strictly for special needs children and there are 2 nurses on staff at all times, there is a million dollar snooze land (sensory rooms) and we've been told by so many people that it's such an amazing school. Only 17 more days to prepare. Tears aren't too far off each time I think about putting him on the school bus and watching it pull away with my baby inside. I wonder what he will be thinking about as he looks around and only sees strangers and big seats that are unfamiliar. I wonder if he will be afraid or curious?! Of course, I will be trailing close behind the bus his first day or two to see his route and to experience all of his firsts in school. Carter may not have met any of his milestones so far, but starting school and becoming a big brother are HUGE milestones in our home!
After Carter's first day of school, his 3rd birthday celebrations will begin! We will be having his first birthday party surrounded by his therapists and friends! We will have decorations, cake and food! I am so excited to celebrate with all of these people that we love so much and for Carter to see and feel all the love he has around him!
I have a great feeling about 2012 for Carter! I have a feeling we will see big changes in a good way!
