Korben started school last Thursday (the 19th). Woohoo!
The night before, we went to Target to pick out a backpack for him. Mike liked the Elmo one, but gave Korben a choice between Diego, Thomas and Elmo...and Korben agreed with Dad. :D He loves to help get his bag ready, filling it with diapers, an extra set of clothes, a sippy cup, and a snack each day. It is so cute to see him zip his bag up, try to swing it over his shoulder and announce that he is "ready to go!"
He has attended 3 days so far. I was able to take him to and from school all 3 days because the bus driver wasn't ready for him yet. It was nice to get to see his classroom and meet some of the teachers before sending him off to school all on his own. He has had glowing reviews after each day so far. He plays really well with the other kids in his class (he can have up to 12 in his class, but the teachers have to keep a maximum of a 4 to 1 ratio), enjoys learning, and hasn't thrown a tantrum once. His teachers are really pleased with how excited he is to learn and I am really pleased that after 4 months of waiting, we are finally able to help him learn.
Korben attends from 12:10pm - 2:40pm, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Each day he has a 20 minute session alone with the speech therapist, a 30 minute session with the occupational therapist, and the rest is class time. We are keeping him in his private therapies as well and the therapists are working together to make all of the time spent with him effective.
Ready for his first day
