Devyn started preschool! He started on March 10th, picture day! haha. I took a bunch of pics of him on his first day. But, of course I dont have them on this computer. I need to start uploading pictures! Anywho, so far so good. No bad reports from his teachers. He started taking the bus last week too. The first day of him taking the bus was kinda horrible..he wouldnt get me put him in his seat so my husband had to do it. He was screaming of course, but by the second day the bus driver said he is a very good bus rider! It is so different not having him around. I am able to get more things done and quicker of course..But, by the time D gets home he takes a nap because he is so tired from school then he usually doesnt wake up till 5. I feel like I barely see him anymore. It kind of makes me sad..Autumn always looks for him too.
I really hope him going to school will help. I just hope one day I can have an actual conversation with him.
They had their birthday party last week. It went pretty well!! He only had a couple meltdowns..I told my family I didnt want to sing the happy birthday song because he hates it and cries when people sing it loudly. They of course started singing it and he was crying so bad..it was sad. But, he got over it pretty quick. It was a good turn out. His therapists said they would come but they didnt end up coming..and didnt really tell me they were so that kind of hurt me..but oh well.
Anywho, nothing really new besides that.
Today we went to the Irvine Regional Park. I love that park! it is so nice! D had a new play group there at the zoo. Not many people showed up for the play group but it was still fun! We will have to go to that park more often. They have a lot of things to do there.

my little D
I haven't posted in a bit..
but the play group went great! Devyn started his new OT a few weeks ago and they have swings there. That was a number one thing that D hates at the playground!! But, he went on some of the swings there. He must of liked them because we went to his playgroup and he ran up to the swings and said up please up please! He was swinging all by himself for like 20 minutes! He is also using a little big more language. His favorite thing to say now is not yet..to everything! haha..oh, and no of course!
Today was Devyn's last day of ABA therapy with his therapist Jamie. It was sad..I of course was kind of sad..was tearing up at the end. Of course I shed a few tears when she left. I took some pics and a little video. Poor Devyn doesn't understand the whole concept of her leaving and not coming back..that is why I was so sad for the most part.
Gosh, things are going to change a lot in the next couple of weeks. Devyn has been getting therapy services since he was like 20 months..Now, nobody will be coming over and Devyn will be starting pre-school soon and he will be doing all his therapy at the school.
Onto the next subject..we had Devyn's IEP meeting on Monday. It went well, it was longer than i thought it would be. Anywho, I read the report so I pretty much already knew what to expect. The report made me a little sad..pretty much stated how Devyn is pretty delayed in communication, etc. Gosh, he is so smart though. He does great at matching and naming object and animals, etc. He can count to ten and he knows his abc's. Anyway, they said they want to put him in the 'success' class. It is the class I wanted him to be in. It is a smaller class and more individualized. He will be going to school M, T, TH, F from 8:35-1:35. He also got ABA therapy, OT, and speech therapy services, which they take him out of class for and bring him back. He will also be taking the bus, which I'm pretty nervous about. I wish I could take him everyday..but, we only have one car right now and it would be pretty difficult to do that every day. I'm gong to be so lonely! Well, of course I have Autumn!! but she has been sleeping a lot during the day lately..
We went to another Autism night at Pretend city on Monday night. It was really fun!! Devyn actually did more than just drive around in the cars! He played in the art studio, the theater, the beach, the play house, the construction site area..I still couldn't get him to play in the pretend Ralph's grocery store though. So I took Autumn instead hah. I think Devyn loves the art studio the best, he even made some paintings!!! He didnt even freak out at all when he got paint on his hands!
I think he really is making a little big of improvement! Especially with his sensory issues. I think his ASD playgroup and monthly Pretend City trips are really helping him!
I think that is all for now..
Tomorrow is Devyn's last day of aba therapy with his therapist Kris. Its his last day altogether. AH! so sad..I bet I will tear up again..like today! I'm such a big baby. I invited his therapists to his and Autumn's birthday party. I hope they come. Devyn would be so excited!
My next post will be about D starting pre-school...awwww..my baby is growing up! He will be 3 on Monday and Autumn will be 1 on Tuesday..CRAZYYYYY!! Then their birthday is next Sunday..I hope it is a success!!
I love my babies! <3
