School Days


It's been a long time coming, but the day has finally come. Jordan went to pre-school today for the first time. Devon and I went to our first meeting about this in March, and since then there has been a lot of planning. Yesterday I said to Avery "can you believe Jordan is going to school tomorrow?" and she said "well, yah, you and dad have been talking about it for, like, a year or something." Well, we still can hardly believe it, but it happened.

So, what is pre-school like for Jordan? The bus comes and picks her up at the house (with her nurse, who rides the bus with her), then at school they sing songs, study letters, have snacks & playtime, and do therapies (physical, occupational, speech). Jordan is in Classroom 5, and her classmates are 7 boys -- no girls except her. School lasts for 2.5 hours, 4 days per week. Hopefully she'll stay healthy enough to be able to attend full time (you know how those schools are full of germs & sickness).

That picture of Jordan by the bus almost brought a little tear to my eye! I am so excited that it is finally happening. Yay Jordan!
