I am back!

Whew, what a week! First off Jacob started school on Monday. He loves his teacher at Cedar Grove, her name is Mrs. Gibbons and Jacob loves her. He even had a best friend! How about that? There are only 8 kids total in his class. So it is small and that is good for Jacob. He has had great days all week this week, but the teacher keeps going to the 1st grade class to get stuff for him to do. He gets bored and the temptation to get in trouble is lurking. He does well when she gets more work for him to do. Today they did a Valentine exchange and he had a good time with that, he was very excited to pass out his stuff to his new friends.

Now to what I have been up to this last week. As some of you know I started working at Sprint. Last week and the next 5 weeks are training classes. So far I think I will like it. They pay is GREAT! And free phone unlimited phone service Gotta love that! I work now from 8-5 Monday-Friday, but when I get done with that I will most likely be working nights, which I love! I am a night owl. So that is pretty much it for now, I am enjoying an empty house for a while. Julia wanted to spend the night with my mom (Meme) and Jacob went with Daddy to Pier Park for their weekly movie night. So now I am going to get cozy on the couch and watch a movie I have been dying to watch for ever. Good night everyone!

Happy days are here again!

Whoo Hoo! I went to Jacob's IEP meeting at Cedar Grove to talk to them about what we are going to do with him. They have a great plan. He will start Monday and he could not be happier! He will ride the bus starting Monday, wow! This will allow him to feel independent. It is a special bus with an aid who rides with him and a few other Pre-k kids from his class. He will get to school early so he will eat there. They think this is important because it provides him an extra opportunity to have a learning experience of manners and socialization. I was concerned at first when they said "will he ride a bus, we recommend it" but after they explained it I felt alright with it. No we have to find some shirts for him to wear. They have a uniform and that stuff is hard to find this time of year, but we will get what we can. Please pray for him and the rest of us.

Yeah! We have a while!

So we went to the orthodontist and he took some x-rays of Jacob's teeth. It showed that he has a few years before his teeth start to loosen and fall out. Jason did not loose his first one until he was 8. I on the other hand had a full set of gigantic adult teeth by that age. Another thing that the orthodontist said is that Jacob has my giant teeth and Jason's small mouth. So the fact that he has sucked his thumb for the last 5 1 /2 years has been good. Making room for the huge teeth that are coming in to his tiny mouth. God had a plan. He has significant spacing between the teeth but his bite is fairly good. So our game plan is when he is 7 1/2 we will return and see where his teeth are as far as coming down and if he still sucks at night he will put in a devise that will help him stop. So it looks like the chances of him even having braces are slim because he has created plenty of room for the teeth to come in straight. I must say that I am very relieved because I did not want to put a cage in his mouth this young, it looks horrible. The orthodontist said he will most likely stop when he starts school and has more to occupy his brain.

So that brings us to my next subject. I have an I.E.P (Individual Education Plan) meeting at Cedar Grove Friday. They are going to talk to us about what type of class we are going to start Jacob in probably next week. They are going to try him in a class they think will be good for him and add some tutoring type stuff for enrichment so he won't be bored. Then next year I think he may go to Cherry Street, and keep the tutoring. I am not sure about next year, I am concentrating on this year. So that's all I have for today. I think I may post a thing I did earlier this week. Other than that this is all I have for today.
