School's Out!!

So, today was the last day of school. Daniel will really miss going to school every day. We've had several people tell us how much of a change they've seen in him. One area he's really done well with is his speech - he has new words all the time. One thing I want to work on with him this summer is his fine motor skills. Next Fall he'll have the same teacher; although the parapro will be a different person (we'll miss Ms. Phyllis).


Yesterday, Emma and I joined Daniel's class for a picnic on the playground (along with a few other parents). We had a great time meeting and playing with Daniel's school friends. Emma was so excited to be able to play on the playground that she didn't eat much lunch. It was soooo hot outside, but it didn't seem to bother the kids. Emma loved blowing bubbles and climbing on the playset. After playing for a while, we went inside, had a snack and watched a video from Field Day. It was fun to be able to see how he acts at school when mom & dad aren't around (although it wasn't any different).
