Gabe started school this week. He is attending Redwood's Early Childhood Development Program. For those who do not know, Redwood is a school here in NKY that provides a developmental enriched curriculum from newborn to preschool, to afterschool programs, to their adult center. The program integrates typical and special needs children into the same classroom. All of their teachers have degrees in early childhood education and they have many therapists who work there. We are so fortunate to have this available for Gabe. All of his therapists thought it was time for him to be around other kids to help motivate him to want to walk and drink from a cup. He is in a Mon, Wed, Fri program. Last week went well. He didn't really cry when we left. He had been napping well and all the teachers said he is doing well overall. Problem is, he won't eat for them. He did better Friday, but overall, not so hot. I'm unsure if it is b/c the teachers need to push him a little more, and not tolerate him spitting out food, or if all the other kids are just distracting him. I know there will be an adjustment period, so hopefully he picks things up this week.
In other news, Happy Father's Day to all you Dad's out there! My dad and Justin are wonderful fathers and Gabe and I are very lucky.
