PreK Day 1 was a success! Drew loved it and his therapist said he did a GREAT job. I was so so so proud of him! Here are a few pics from day 1 of Drew playing kitchen with some of the boys. This, in and of itself, is an awesome sight! It's also a great affirmation that we made the right choice to send him to a typical preK class. Of course, it's still day 1, but I think this is going to be a great fit for him. Oddly, almost ALL of the kids in his class are super tall and very very blonde!
He also enjoyed the sandbox very much and when his shorts came off that night, about a cup of sand fell out of his pockets. HA!
He did a floor puzzle during the day and his teacher had him pose by the puzzle to take his picture. Apparently he gave a really good pose - yay!!!! He's starting to ham it up for the camera!
Drew uses an iPad to help with speech clarity. He has some commonly used phrases pre-programmed and the iPad pronouces the phrases when he pushes the corresponding button. On Day 1, he was was able to use his iPad to join in conversations with the other kids! Apparently the kids were telling their moms' names in a spontaneous conversation and Drew found his button that says "My mom's name is Cindy" and joined right in. I'm soooo proud of him!!!
