Last week our little Sam started Pre-school. Not what we expected...Sam going to school before Andrew but this is what was recommended by a speech therapist to help him speak better. Last Spring I took Sam and Andrew to a developmental assessment to see how they were doing compared to other kids there age. Andrew was doing fine but they had a few minor concerns with Sam which resulted in him going to a Speech Therapist for an assessment this summer. So a week before PreSchool started it was suggested that we register him for two mornings a week.
He's wearing the red and white striped shirt and snuggled next to one of the teacher aids on his first day. He is the youngest in his class, most of the kids are 4years old. The first day was a little hard on me especially because Andrew was throwing a crying fit when I left to take Sam to school. He really wanted to go too. I can totally understand that it doesn't seem fair but this is only happening to help Sam's speech otherwise we would still be having lots of adventures at home. Yesterday was Sam's second day and it seems to be going really well, Sam loves it and always has art work to show me at the end of his class. He can't always tell me what all they did the three hours but yesterday he was quite excited about playdough and painting. Hopefully this is going to help Sam have more confidence and reduce his frustration when trying to tell us things.

This will be such a huge help for him - it was the right decision. Could Andrew go on another morning so he would have a special time too? I know it all adds up but it does have lots of benefits too. Great pictures!!
