Looking back...

I cannot believe this little baby is now a big boy. How simple life was back then... I took it for granted....I stayed home all day and did nothing but hold him and tell him how wonderful he was... I am so lucky to be a mom and I have loved every (well almost every) minute of it. I love you sweet boy....

School Days

Well it has finally happened... I am officially a mother of a preschooler.... I know its kind of late in the year but its a long story:) Hunter was tested for his speech and qualified for speech therapy. I was told that he would be able to get this done free of charge through the school district and that they would get back to me quickly with more information... Well after 6 weeks of constant nagging on my end they finally set up an appointment for him at the local elementary. We were so excited! I had been telling Hunter about "Speech School " and he was pumped. Well it turns out this appointment was actually ANOTHER testing not therapy and they said they would submit this to the district and would have an answer in a few weeks! I was beyond frustrated by this point. I had not enrolled Hunter in a preschool thinking that he would be having therapy so I felt defeated. Then my Aunt Mary came to visit. I was telling her about Hunter and she was explaining to me how the same thing had happened to her son James when he was little, to make a long story short she being the AMAZING person she is found me an AMAZING school called the Evergreen Montessori Academy and enrolled Hunter for me. This was his first week and HE LOVES IT! The best part is that he gets speech therapy there so I don't have to take him anywhere else.... I am so proud of him and cant wait to see him improve more and more each week! I need to thank my Heavenly Father for hearing my prayers and answering them through my Aunt Mary. I have learned so much about being a better parent because of her.... I am so grateful for my family and for everyone who helps me get him to and from school... I love my boys and will do ANYTHING to ensure they succeed!
