Last Saturday was BY FAR our best week at Little Gym yet. I am sure it is a combination of familiarity and everything else, but Nate did so great. He participated in EVERY activity including circle time. He rode the parachute around while he was arm to arm with the other kids. It was amazing. I barely recognized him. It was definitely a proud Mommy Moment.
Nate has been playing in his new ball pit. He was a little uneasy at first but now he dives in head first. He loves it and we are always happy to see that big ol' smile on his adorable little face.
Tonight we toured a public special needs preschool as another option for Nate. It wasn't horrible. I guess if that is the first thing that came to my head to write, then I am probably not too shot with it. It is in a horrible location- about 20 minutes NORTH of my house and on back roads that would be horrible to navigate in the bad weather with two little kids on the car. Otherwise, the facilities were nice and Nate had a ball playing in the Motor Room. I suppose my biggest concern, and it may be completely unjustified, is the types of kids that would be in his class. It is public, so there are disabilities of all levels and types. The children with the physical disabilities are obviously needing a little more attention in regards to activities- which I admit is selfish to think- but it takes that attention away from MY son and his education. I am sorry but that one on one time is SO important and I can't have him taking the backseat to anybody simply because he is excelling physically. The school is free since it is public, but I am not sure if I am selling him out to a general disabled program. He deserves more specialized attention and time with kids that are on the spectrum and have the same shortcomings that he does. hmmm......what is that worth to me? 27 Grand?
