Max had his first day of school on Wednesday! He will be going for 1 hour and 15 minutes on Wednesdays before he turns three on November 15th. Once he is three, he will be going 2 hours and 15 minutes four times a week. We wanted to start him a little early to get him acquainted with the school. The pick up and drop off went well at his day-care. He will be riding in a van to and from school. And it sounds like he enjoyed himself at school. He met with OT and PT and got to spend a little time with the rest of the class. The early childhood teacher said she is going to have to break the other students of calling him a baby. She told them that he is three just like them and not a baby. It sounded like he was a new toy. The kids wanted to hug him and pick him up. Hopefully the excitement of a new kid will wear off by the time he starts four days a week. Ava even ran in to him in the hall and was really excited to see him at school and show him off to her class!
When Max starts on November 16th, he will be getting the following therapy at school:
20 minutes of Speech Therapy four times a week
30 minutes of Occupational Therapy three times a week
30 minutes of Physical Therapy two times a week
The rest of his time at school will be in the classroom. He will also have music class and go to the school library during week.
This will be quite a change in the amount of therapy he will be getting each week. He currently gets four hours of ST and one hour of PT a month. I don't think it is going to bother Max since he loves one-on-one attention of adults.

What a great picture! He looks so grown up. I'll bet that he is just going to blossom once he is around the other kids so much...and getting so much therapy. He is going to LOVE it! I'm so happy for him...and you!
Go Max! Who ever heard of getting MORE therapy at school? That's great! (We have to fight for every minute of one-on-one therapy Natalie gets). Like Angie said, he will love school.
So handsome! I'm glad he's getting to ease into school.
By the way, when I give Nathan his first big boy haircut, I'm going to attempt Max's style. I have admired it since the first time I saw his picture!
Love it! What a big boy!
