Till the Tajia starts Kindergarden on sept 8th.....This Friday I am taking her to get her hair cut, new shoes and a new outfit...then out to lunch. A special day before she goes to big girl school. I have a new worry about her going to the class she will be in. One that sounds to most like I am a bad person.
A friend of ours is going to have their autistic child mainstreamed. The kid will be in Tajia's room. I fear this will affect her and the rest of the room. He is loud and stems alot (very much like Gabe does) he cannot sit in one place for any length of time. I worry about her and the other kids being able to hear the teacher and learn like they need to.
Now before I am judged I have to say, its a blessing and a curse having both neurologically typical and autistic kids. I tend to see things from both sides in a different light. We are homeschooling Gabe for many reasons. The main ones are for his safety, for the safety of the other kids, so he can learn at his pace on all subjects, and so the other kids can learn without him screaming and jumping around the room as a distraction.
So yes I get that it sounds bad, and I get that his mom wants him to have things as normal as possible......
Gabe has been chewing on his hands and other things alot lately. I think he has another loose tooth or one coming in....I am not going to check as he will bite if I get near his mouth!! We got in his homeschooling materials...and wow there are TONS of things. They supply so much. Everything from color workbooks to counting blocks for visual learning of math. Its so nice!
Nomuken goes to the eye doctor again this next week. Its the day we learn how bad her eyes are and if surgery is needed. I am nervous about this....
Deze's teacher is coming here tomorrow for the first home visit. She has NO idea that Deze is autistic. Should be lots of fun....We will know in the next week if they plan to put her in a special needs room.
We have located a PCA for Gabe and Deze. Its a friend of Germ's that is sick of working at target and wants the 3 dollar an hour raise! I cannot wait for the paper work to go through...I would love to be able to wash the laundry without Deze breaking something...again.
She broke the cookie jar yesterday.....Nomuken was very upset...it was in the shape of a monkey. Nomuken loves monkeys!
Its time for the normal bedtime fight with Deze now so I must run!
