Aiden's first day was yesterday. I made sure that his bookbag was all packed up with what he needed and got his notebook, "communication book" and all of his supplies ready for his first day. Decided to use an older SEI fun pattern this year for his things. He thought that d.j notebook was pretty cool.
He has the same teacher as last year, who I thought was wonderful, considering - and hope when I pick him up today that the last two days have gone smoothly for him. I know how difficult transitions can be. To end the last holiday weekend with a bang we had a fun day on Sunday at Prospect Park with a work friend of mine, Chrislie - who Aiden affectionaly calls "Crispy." Hadn't been there in a while and he had a BLAST. Good times.
(still working on the focus on this little camera...obviously)
My sweet mama got him a bunch of new things from a neat online shop called AutismShop, so he is going to be thrilled to have some new fun things to play with when he gets home today. I have also started making flashcards and placing them around the house with names of different object (i.e "door" flashcards posted on the door) so he gets more familiar with words and how they relate to the things they are named after.
Absolutely cannot WAIT to see him today after school. Miss him something horrible.
Hope everyone is having a great week.
Goodness, Aiden is getting so big! I've read your blog forever and SO look forward to seeing and hearing about your lives.
Be blessed
