This week was spent going to some doctors appointments (allergist, pediatrician) to get paperwork ready for school and of course therapy -- as usual.
When Zach turns 3 his EI services are over and we will officially have to figure out how to keep him in therapy. Not only will we have to figure out payment - what insurance doesn't cover, but also time and keeping him with the same wonderful therapists. Their afternoons are already pretty much full - so I'm praying this works out for him. I'm pretty sure I have it all figured out....but as life has proven before you just never know.
Zachary starts school in only 17 more days.
I have been busy getting his school supplies ready, and some new clothes. I've also been very busy trying to explain to him what is going to happen - from being in the classroom to attempting to ride the bus, to the fact he MUST wear shoes, and meet new friends, to the fact Mommy won't be there.
Transitions are very hard for Zach and I'm not sure what he is really comprehending out of this. I'm scared at how the first week or two is going to play out for him. I'm excited at the same time to have him hopefully surprise me and do better then I think he will with the transition.
This is all new to him and new to me sending my "almost" 3 year old to school. Having to explain has not been very easy, partly because I'm not sure what to say and partly because I'm not sure what he is getting out of what I am saying.
I guess in 17 more days we will see if I did a good job explaining this all to him.

"must wear shoes" ...this was also a really tough one for my son as well. I am sure after a few weeks he will adjust well to preschool. {{{HUGS}}]
