Preschool starts in February!!!!

Jo Jo's first day of preschool will be February 10th 2014!!!

Today Jo Jo had a evaluation at Rockland Preschool and he did a great job. They were really impressed with his attention span and being able to follow through with activities and transition. That's my boy!!! He is such a good little boy. Thank you to Early Intervention and ABA Therapy!!! Without these services Jo Jo would never have been able to complete the evaluation.

During the Evaluation I had to fill out more paperwork. It never ends! Today I had to fill out a sensory processing packet, a general information packet, and another evaluation packet. It becomes extremely repetitive and annoying with all the paperwork. 

We also got to visit Jo Jo's classroom and meet one of his new fellow student's. He was adorable and couldn't wait to play with Jo Jo, and Jo Jo could have cared less. The classroom was very similar to Caylee's classroom which is directly across the hall. Awesomeness!!!! They also have a lot of technology in the classroom, and they even have there own occupational therapy room with a therapy swing! So far loving the program and teacher's! 

There is a little but more left to do for Jo Jo's Eligibility Evaluation. The school will be observing in January at Jo Jo's play group and they will also come and observe ABA Therapy. Then mid January we will have our Eligibility Meeting with the director, therapists, teacher's, early intervention, and us of course. The meeting will be our first IEP Meeting also, They will tell us he is eligible for the program and we will talk about his education plan. 

The director has already told us that Jo Jo is eligible because he has a diagnosis but they still have to complete there evaluation in full by law and they also get to observe Jo Jo which gives them a better picture of what they will need to be doing for him. Jo Jo will go to preschool four days a week from 9 to 11:30. The same time as Caylee which makes everything easier! I'm very excited for Jo Jo to start school. I think he is going to love it! He is a fast learner and I think he will fit in just fine. I am also very sad because my baby is starting school. It's going to be weird not having any kids in the house. Gonna miss my little man!
