Maybe not so up to date

Okay, so I committed long ago that I was going to keep Javad's blog more up-to-date, but here it is more than a month later and no post.

Well, that stops today. HERE IT IS!!!

Javad is doing really great! Moving schools in January has been a godsend. The teacher is fabulous, the students really accept him for who he is. It has been awesome!

Last weekend, Javad was invited to his first birthday party (for someone not related to him!) There were about 12 kids at the party (for a classmate) and the parents were fabulous. The boy's father was incredible. If the kids moved out to the patio, we moved Javad (and his chair) out to the patio. Inside for the reptile show...you know it, Javad moved inside too! Outside for cupcakes, out again...We moved in and out all day. Javad had a great time.

We are getting ready for his IEP meeting on friday. It will be a big one. We are planning out next year. I think the general plan is to have a hybrid schedule next year. Go to school in the morning (the general plan is to repeat kindergarten so we can get all of his technology in place), have lunch (well, sit with friends while they eat), then go to the resource room for an hour to work with PT/OT, speech. It will also give him time to take his brace off, get out of his chair and so on. I feel like putting time in his day for him to relax and rest will be so important as he gets older, so planning this time in now will be great!

I'll write more later! (promise)
