Getting ready for busy weekend

Yesterday Chris and I went to observe Ryan' s preschool classroom he will be starting on the 30th. The program is going to be so good for Ryan. We were there while the sensory motor group was just starting in his class. The kids were having so much fun. They were riding tricylces down the hall, and walked on a balance beam, then crawled through a tunnel. Half on the kids in the class are typical kids, and others have special needs. They were pretty much all able to do everything the same, so that made me feel good, that Ryan will eventually be able to do the same as the other kids. They all write their names, and do lots of handwriting practice. We were very impressed! The teacher wanted us to see that all the kids reguardless of what is going on with them, are all doing the same work, and really doing it! I am so excited for Ryan that he gets to be in this class! Tooday we are getting ready for our busy day tomorrow. We are going to Nashville overnight, for a workshop at Vanderbilt on Saturday morning. The class is about Developing Play routines at home. It would be nice to have ideas on ways to play at home, expecially since Ryan doesnt initiate play, so its a little harder to know what he wants to do, and how to keep him interested in the activity. My mom and Peggy are metting me there, and Peggy is coming to the class with me, while my mom keeps the boys! Then we will go do fun stuff when we are done with the class! Like eat and shop! Well I better go for now!
