Yesterday was Sam's birthday. He had a great day and was exhausted by the end. The weather was beautiful, so there was a lot of playing outside for both boys. Sam got a new bike from Grandma and Grandpa Mundy, some very cool wooden trucks and "guys" from Nana Dolen, and a sand and water table from Mom and Dad and Grandma and Grandpa McDavitt. Other good news...today we went to see his Developmental Pediatrician, Dr. Hoffman, who said "I don't really see a reason why you need to visit me again." This is great news coming from a specialist. He things Sam is doing great, that we are managing his disabilities well and that we shouldn't expect any more surprises as he grows up (at least, no more developmental surprises!). He also recommended that next year we might consider placing Sam in a regular preschool rather than the Early Childhood Center (Special Education Center) where he will attend in the fall. He said if Sam's social skills, behavior, communication, and cognition are not significantly delayed that he would be better off in an environment where he's watching and interacting with kids who can model those things correctly rather than kiddos who are struggling. I thought that was exciting to hear.

I can't believe he's 3 already. Madden has the same tricycle. We love it! Can't wait to play with the sand/water table. See you next week!
Yay! You have a blog! Would you like me to make a cute banner for the top? It's totally easy, since I have the stuff. I've probably told you this, but I print mine out every now and then and put it in a binder. No more feeling bad about not journaling :). I'm glad Sam had a fun birthday and that you got such wonderful news from the specialist!
Happy Birthday Sam! So happy about the news from the specialist!
