Oliver the Student

Oliver visited the preschool classroom he will attend in the fall yesterday.  His teacher invited us over to meet her and see the class.  Oliver was able to participate in a PT group activity and music.  It was so neat to see him watch the other kids and then begin to imitate them.  The PT had 6 "speed bump" type things on the floor and the kids needed to step/walk on them.  He ran over to them to pick them up, but once he saw the other kids step on them he tried to do the same.  And he loved music time and clapped after each song.  We were given a copy of the songs they sing, so he can become familiar with them this summer.  I love that!  He has hardly had any social interactions with other kids, so this is going to be incredible for him.

Oliver is still recovering.  He is feeling better, but he has his moments.  He hates taking his medicine and goes into a royal fit each morning and night.  He still isn't eating or drinking very much, but she seems content with his applesauce and Ella's smoothies (Thank you Stacy & Jennifer!).

Waverly is doing well.  She has been incredibly giggly the past 2 days and a bit more hyper than usual.  This is her last week of preschool and I am getting nervous for the next 3 weeks.  Summer school doesn't start until July, so I am going to need to be creative with our time.

Hi Shannon,

I love the cute description of Oliver learning at his new preschool. I received a CD of school songs YEARS ago, when Sasha must have been about 4 years old. I STILL have it and play it for her in the car from time to time to see if she recognizes the songs. I'm sure Oliver will enjoy having those songs in the school setting and out of school as well! It sounds like you guys found a wonderful school for him, I'm so happy for you!!
Joanne, Sasha's Mom
