Aulton officially started school September 29th. He goes Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:15 am until 11:45 am. It is a little bittersweet, as I know that he needs someone more trained to start teaching him, but I still feel like he is too little to go to school. Honestly, he's not even three yet. However, he was very excited to go the first day. He didn't even cry when I left him. He is unwilling to wear his backpack, so we will keep working on that.
His teachers feel he is adjusting well, but he definitely needs more time to get used to the routine and schedule. And he is giving those teachers a run for their money. Today (Tuesday) when I picked him up, he has throroughly convinced his teacher, the two aides and the physical therapist that he is unable to walk. He falls down every couple of steps, they say and will slump to the floor as soon as they take his hand. So, they have started transporting him in a wagon. I tried to explain that Aulton is smarter than he is sometimes given credit. When he started to tire of therapy visits, he pretended to fall asleep. He was very convincing. Now, he has found another way to avoid work. I'm glad he is so creative, but I'm sure the jig will be up soon!

Oh my goodness. He does that, really? He is too smart! I can hardly believe he is old enough to be in preschool. You must miss him teribly while he's gone?
Oops. I do know how to spell "terribly".
That is too funny! What a smart kid.
