Update on Evan
Well, Evan had his IEP on Friday October 19, 2007 and it went a lot better than I was expecting. Of course once he starts school we will see how it goes. Anyway, he will be starting school on October 30th at a special education preschool that is a communication based program. His class will have no more than 12 kids in attendance. He will get group speech therapy and OT, as well as individualized services as well. He is going to get a adaptive PE evaluation which hopefully, they will recommend that he still gets Physical therapy as well. Another big concern is feeding therapy. I am hopeful that the speech therapist knows enough to work on that but if not then we can contract out with our past feeding therapist. Basically it is a wait and see game right now, I have to wait and see how things go at the school and with the therapists and then if it is not to my liking and Evan's benefit then I will have to do what I can do to get it changed. I will post pics of Evan's first day of school soon. I am so excited for him to start school I think he will do very well.

Happy Birthday Evan
Evan had fun playing in the playhouse outside
Evan and Mia are buddies, here they are sitting on Evan's new Thomas the Tank Engine couch that Grandma Barbara and Grandpa Steve got him.
Auntie Donna got Evan this cool horse and he sat on it right away and pretended he was riding it. He thought it was so cool
Check out Evan in this last picture. He is trying to blow out his candles but he does not have the skills to actually blow, he has a hard time getting his lips together in the right position. Anyway, I think it is so cute how he tries to blow his candles out. He does the same thing when we are blowing on hot food.
