Avery went to her first Memorial Day Parade. We ended up going to the one in Strongsville. She had a such a great time waving her flags and getting candy thrown to her.
We had a meeting with the Parma City School District for Avery to be evaluated for Special Ed Preschool. We were there about 2 hours and they observed her and asked Tim and I questions. We have the "official" evaluation on June 11.There is so much paperwork for us to fill out that I feel like I should just give them the blog address and let them do some research, but of course I won't do that. The preschool can be very beneficial to Avery. There are different levels of Restrictions (see picture below). I am assuming that since she is so delayed, she will follow the most restrictive path (the one to the far right). She will be one of 4 special needs kids and then there will also be 4 non-special needs kids in her class for a total of 8 kids. The next step up has the same curriculum, just more kids in the class (which means less one on one time). They said its good she is coming in now so then she has 2-3 years to catch up. The goal of this preschool is to have your child attend kindergarten in the "regular" classroom with no restrictions. My mom knows someone who knows someone who sends their child there and they said they are amazing so that gets me excited for Avery.
Avery started daycare 2 weeks ago on a Wednesday. I received a call around 3pm that day saying she had not eaten or had anything to drink the whole day and had a temp of 99. When I went to pick her up, she was laying on a bean bag chair in the corner, her hand covering her eyes and she was crying. It was HEARTBREAKING! I felt like crying right along with her. She went to daycare this past Thursday and they said she was very shy at first but she did open up a little bit after naptime. I was very thankful when I picked her up this time that she was mingled between all of the other kids. She only ate applesauce the entire day and didn't drink anything.... I guess its better than nothing so it looks like we are headed in the right direction. She is in a class with 2-3 year olds and these kids are HUGE compared to her. I am hoping she will learn some cool new things from them.
We had a follow up appointment with Pulmonary on Friday. Dr Carl said she sounded good. We decided to keep her on the flovent because:
1. She just got back into daycare and is likely to get sick so we are one step ahead
2. We will be ahead come flu season this year
Some of Avery's favorite things right now:
1. She loves to take her shoes and socks off, especially in the car.
2.She also likes to act like she is smelling her feet. She thinks its the funniest thing.
3. She loves to stand with her hands folded behind her back, like she is posing
4. She loves to throw her food
5. She loves throwing tantrums about nothing (she is two so I understand)
6. She is super shy and she covers up her eyes all the time.
7. She loves giving Chewie and Lily kisses and now makes a smooch sound when giving them a kiss.
6. Daddy. She cannot get enough. She follows him EVERYWHERE and is his little shadow.
Eddie and I were playing on his swing set
Mmm KFC. I don't know why I said Mmmm when I didn't really eat anything from there.
I loved waving the flags around!!
Sitting with "Cool Cari" (Aunt Cari) and Kassidy while she reads us a book. I have the same face in the next 2 pics when I am being held by other people
Sitting with Michael and Kassidy. They love me! Kassidy was demonstrating her excellent reading skills.
Annnnnnnnnd, I still have the same face. Sitting with Uncle Andy who was in town from Arizona.
Getting comfy
These cherries and my nail polish match!
New formula...Mom says this is liquid gold, or at least costs just as much. Luckily, BCMH covers it for us. I was having some constipation problems (too much info, I know) so they decided to prescribe me the Pediasure with Fiber.
I want to be just like daddy!
I am planting..well more like throwing..seeds into the garden.
Daddy is down for the count
My cousin, Eddie graduated preschool and is going to be going to Kindergarten. I was so excited for him but we couldn't go to his graduation so I made him a sign
Yayy!
Congrats!!
Here are the options for the special needs preschool. They will determine which option is best for me after they evaluate me on Thursday.
I love Chewie...and wearing socks with sandals.
He is my best friend (after Daddy, of course)
Mmmm, candy apples!
The ice cream truck came down our street! I hope to hear that music many times this summer!
Yumm! You would think with all these treats that I would be getting heavy.
Mommy got this chair for me for $5. I love to climb all over it and lounge in it. I had my legs/feet crossed really cute but Mommy couldn't get her camera in time.
