The last Day of Pre-K

It had to happen. The twins had their last day of Pre-school. It was a fun but bittersweet day. The kids enjoyed face painting and watching Jori and I do up Ms. Kellie and Ms. Patty, their wonderful teachers. It soon became chilly and then rainy, so our plan of having a water fight didn't work. But we had some indoor play with a sand box and water and some "whoop it up time." They enjoyed every moment.

They both are going on to Kindergarten and I remember when they were born. Their journey was thick with peril and struggle. James had an oral motor problem that made eating extremely difficult. Whatever ounces I managed to get down him, he'd throw up due to reflux. He would loose weight and I fretted over him. Now he stands tall, healthy, never as stout as his brothers, but a well proportioned boy. No oral motor problems....and no speech problems. James was exited from the Special Ed program. Jimbo has left the building!

William was a mystery. Happy, content until too much noise, stimulation and changes. What was going on with my fair haired son? We finally have a diagnosis of a seizure disorder and high function Autism. But don't sigh or feel badly. Will is bright and eager to learn. He may even out grow the Autistic diagnosis. And as for seizures...let's just say it is a work in progress.

Let me thank as many times as I can the love, support and experiense of their teachers through three years of pre-school. Ms. Patty and Ms. Kellie are unique and incredible women. They will forever have a special place in my heart. And we still get to visit them often!!!

Boys, steady those wings, get ready....now FLY!
