No reason really accept that every time I sit down one of my kids climbs on me, (which I’m expecting to happen many times before I finish this post) but that’s just this season of life, right?
Life has been full of good things.
School, therapy, making new friends, spending time with family and more.
Hannah’s IEP took way longer then we expected, but it seems Wake Co is behind so she just recently started school.
This made me very anxious at first, but looking back it gave her time to adjust to a new place, get set up with new doctors and have a semester of speech therapy at UNC before she started 4 day preschool.
I struggle with wondering if I’m doing enough for her, but trying to be at peace with what we have right now.
I’m sure there is always more that we can do, but weighing that against what’s best for our family as a whole sometimes changes things. This does not always permit us to put all our efforts into Hannah, however much we want to.
I think we are settling into life in NC. We have found a church that provides fellowship for our entire family and opportunities for us to serve.
Eli is registered for Kindergarten and I really think he’s ready. This year of transitional Kindergarten has been a great jumping off point for him and he loves to learn.
Hannah started 3 year old preschool through the public schools on January 2nd. Since we’ve had a good deal of snow she’s actually only gone 6 days so far, but we are hoping this last snow storm was the last.
Hannah was placed in a developmentally delayed class with other kids who have speech delays plus. Her teacher is great and I have noticed in just the short time she’s been there how much she is retaining. I’m excited to see how she progresses.
Of course she will have her 2nd cochlear implant surgery in a little less than a month, so that will cause her to miss school as well, but such is life with a complex 3 year old. I am looking forward to how this will change her speech and listening reception.
Suzi is growing so quickly. She turned 18 months right after Christmas. She is always trying to keep up with her older siblings and continues to amaze us with her cuteness and personality.
These kiddos keep us busy but we wouldn’t have it any other way.
