Busy Times

Times are busy this week at the Dilly house. We had parent teacher conferences today at Peyton's school. He is doing really well. He knows all of his upper and lower case alphabet letters and numbers to 13. He knows all his shapes and colors. Mainly Jackie's (his special ed teacher)focus is working on his fine motor. His is getting better with more strength in his coloring and more purposeful coloring. He still favors his left hand sometimes uses both.We are working on getting him to hold the crayon in a better position. He behavior is much improved. Silly at times but being able to listen better and follow directions without multiple reminders. He is much improved on this from the beginning of school. He is also getting better at keeping hands in his own space.

Since he is doing so well and he has been in this preschool class for 1.5 years at the end of this year, we have decided to enroll him in the 4 year old classroom. The teachers think he is ready for it. So we agree. It is more academic based with a little more structure.He will focus more on some writing skills which will help with his fine motor delay. He will also have older peers who are same age or about to turn 5 to role model for him. Since Westside's kindergarten are all day this will be a help to him in kindergarten. The schedule is 9am to 330 pm. The special ed teacher will still go over there and work with him along with his occupational therapist. So we are excited but I am still hoping we are not pushing him to fast.

Today he had spring pictures at school. Saturday he has soccer pictures and his first game since his last game was cancelled. I work a 3 day in a row schedule (which I hate) but then on Wednesday we leave for Arizona for Easter. Just Peyton and I are going. I am so excited to see my family and for Peyton to play with his cousins and us all to get together. It has been since January of last year when my grandma walker died. So yeah.....

Saying of the day.......
Peyton comes out of his room.....Why are my boobies not growing? (very concerned and worried voice)
Mommy: Because boys don't get boobies like mommies
Peyton: But I want big boobies like you momma they are so cozy.
Mommy: Daddy doesn't have big boobies.
Peyton: OK fine I will wait for them to grow

Good nite from Omaha
