A First

This afternoon I went to my first Parent Teacher Conference at Waverly's school.  It was wonderful.  Wavey's teacher is a gem.  She told me over and over again just how much she and her staff adore Waverly.  And that the students really like her as well, especially a little girl who is a bit of a chatterbox and talks to Wavey constantly.  She also likes to help push Waverly's chair.  Wavey is making clear choices when given 2 items - toys, books, food items.  PE is her favorite time of the day (she does NOT take after me).  Her teacher is working with Assistive Technology to create more games/programs involving characters she likes.  The program will read a story and only progress when Wavey pushes a large button.  She is very creative and always looking for interesting ways to engage Wavey.

I left the meeting quite proud of my little girl.  She is such a lovable kid.  I am so thankful that she is in such a great classroom.  I know in speaking with other Sanfilippo families, that IEPs and school placements can be a tremendous headache.  We are so blessed.
