Getting ready for Camping...

Well...we had a meeting this am to learn more about Greyson's new school, what they stand for, how they do things, and what we as a family can do to contribute to his school and his success there. I love their philosophies. They think and do things very similar to the Montessori program I had chosen before. They embrace and foster each child as an individual and with them being smaller and a more intimate family I think he will and can thrive there. He seems to love it. yes he has had a few times he said he wasn't happy but hey mostly have to do with moments where it seems maybe the teachers have had to raise their voices or something of this nature. To him a slight change of voice can be screaming in his world. (I am sure they are not screaming or yelling at these children there.) :) But to him I am sure it may seem that way at times and he doesn't like that at all. We are getting ready to go camping with a large group of extended family this weekend and it will be a blast. We did it last year and loved it. Greyson has such a great time as there are alot of other "2 mommy" families there. Plenty of kids to play and swim with and he loves it. we should be headed out by lunch time and it won;t be long before we are hanging at the camp site and having a great time. Yeah....I will be meeting with his teacher next week and the EC teacher to get his other testing scheduled and out of the way so that his IEP can be done and put into place. That should help a great deal as he definitely sees things in another light and dances to the beat of his own drummer...What a great guy he is and how lucky are we to have received him! I also hear Greyson's buddy Anna is doing great at school and having a wonderful time. Kudos to her for all of her hard work this summer and her new found confidence at handling things. Greyson really misses her but we will definitely be in touch and having plenty of play dates when time permits. for now...its off to the mountains for some r&r...our summer was insane so we need all the r&r we can get! Love to all....
