Preschool & Growth

Hey all! It has been such a long time since I have blogged...I looked back, and nearly two months has passed since my last entry. Things have been going fairly well for my family, particularly Carter. He was in his first day of preschool the last time I wrote and so I thought I would update anyone on how its been going for him. First off, he has only been going two mornings a week..tuesday and thursdays- from 9-11ish. I wanted to start him off slow since he is my special little guy, not just throw him in. Gradual with Carter is usually better than all at once for him. He has really been loving preschool. The first few times, he was ready to get out the door when I would come pick him up, then there have been a few times where he would see me but keep at his activity and kind of ignore me! :) There has been a time where he was ready to go, but then the teacher turned on the music to go with a book they were learning and he would go over by the cd player and dance and clap.
He has brought home lots and lots of paper work, colorings, projects, books, etc...from his preschool! I havent thrown away a single paper yet and want to keep all of them! :) I couldn't be more pleased with Carter. He is learning and creating! His schedule for preschool is going to change next month, November. He will be 4 on November 20th, which I can hardly believe, and so we will update his IEP. I am thinking of having him go two full days, so that he can get used to the schedule. This means he will go to school, eat breakfast, have morning activities, recess, free time, lunch, nap, and more preschool just like all the other children do. I hope he will adjust if thats how it plays out. I also hope that I can adjust! Anyways~ All in all preschool is going great for him. I love his teacher-Linda, her aide-Melissa, and Carter's very own personal aide-Michelle! They are all wonderful with him.
Carters next doctor appointment isnt until December 13, in Sioux Falls. He goes to his new pediatric endocrinologist, Dr. Laura Davis Keppen (SP?)...who took over because Carters last doctor moved to KS. I hope that she is a proactive doctor or we will be finding someone else to go to. As Camden grows, his feet are only about 1/2-3/4 inch smaller than Carters, but Carter is 2 1/2 years older! Also, Camden's legs are nearly as long as Carters now. Its crazy. We started the whole growth hormone testing, bone age x-rays, etc in January 2009...so 21 months ago...and Carter is not growing like he should. I as a mom am tired of waiting..I want to do something about his growth, about the size of his feet (balance issues), about the length of his arms and legs (stairs issues), not to mention that he is a good 5 or so inches shorter than other little boys his age. Which for a 3 year old, is a lot.
Thanks for reading and caring!! Bless you!
