School Days!!!



The Classroom

Alyssa loves slides!

The gross motor room

The buggy they use to transport the kids in and out of the school

Alyssa had her first day of toddler school today and it went great! Alyssa is going to school tuesday and wednesday from 10-4. She attends St.Bridgets, but the program is through the county board of MR/DD. They will have OT/PT/speech therapy every week. They also have gym class. Her teacher is a former music therapist and Alyssa seems to like her. Of the seven kids, Alyssa was the only one that did not fall asleep during nap time! I think she is going to be a handful when it comes to that. Most of you know my trouble getting her to nap. ;-) Anyway, also met a few parents that recognized me from the NICU which was kind of fun. Always neat to see our NICU graduates! Looking forward to tomorrow- think I am going to stay just a half a day- we will see. Here are a few pics.

Yeah for Alyssa and for you! She looks so cute and grown-up. I am so glad that she did well. Her school looks like a great place with fun things to do. I hope it continues to go well.

I look at Alyssa and cannot believe the difference from just 2 months ago. Prayers are answered!
Heather and James,I am so proud of you both. You both went through so much the past 2 and 1/2 years and still maintained your loving and giving of yourselves to the strength that your daughter, Alyssa, needed.
God Bless You Both,
