On Friday I put Nico on the bus to school and then drove up to Cascade for an essential oils retreat with a bunch of other women (and a few men) at a nice, large cabin. I do have a picture of this! This was about 1/3 of the people. I made a few friends and had a good time!
Guy woke up early on Friday to get Nico off the bus at 12:30, and then my Mom came to pick him up at 4. They picked up Papa at the airport where he had been flying his plane, and Nico got to sit in the cockpit and play with all the controls. I can just imagine he must have been in heaven!
He stayed that night at the cabin with my parents, and had an incredible walk adventure with Papa the next day. Nico was trying to go in the direction of home, so they walked around and down to the main road, then for their return trip they made a shortcut up the mountain through the ravine next to the cabin. After lunch they both sacked out on the chair in the living room while reading a book.
I came and picked him up that afternoon and brought him back home. Thank you to the Grandparents Salisbury for watching Nico for us overnight!
Sunday was church and then in the evening we took a trip to see our friends Cassi and Cory. Nico got to play with their kids and had a lot of fun playing with toys and running around the back yard. He even played a bit of tetherball.
Monday we went to visit G.G. and had a blast there, too. Nico is intrigued with her TV so he watches a bit while we're there. G.G. brought out some new cars and Nico enjoyed playing with those.
Tuesday was Nico's IEP meeting, which went really well! Next year he will continue going to school 4 days a week, but in the afternoon class this time. We agreed it was a good idea because his peers will also be moving to the afternoon class and we wanted Nico to stay with them. We came up with goals for next year, you can see how detailed they are:
During classroom activities with peers, Nico will stay in his designated seat and participate appropriately (look, listen, and respond as directed) during adult-directed group activities in 8 out of 10 observable opportunities with 3 verbal prompts from adults by April of 2015.
Pretty specific, huh? That's how all the goals read.
There are a few related to social/emotional, and a few related to speech. Here's a speech one:
Nico will speak using correct grammar forms (pronouns, present progressive "is" + "-ing" verbs, plurals, possessives) with 75% accuracy in conversational activities during a 5 minute speech sample, over 3 consecutive sessions by 4/2015.
Nico didn't need any goals related to academic performance or fine motor skills.
We will find out in May if he will have his same teacher (crossing my fingers that he will!)
I also asked who the child was that Nico likes to play computer games with and they told me it was Bailey. Whenever he sits at the computer he always looks around for her to see if she wants to come play with him.
Nico's haircut
Apparently there were 3 blond haired boys that came into school on Tuesday with haircuts, Nico being one of them. It was a hair cuttin' weekend!
