Change!!...... I DON'T like it!!!

On February 1st Wyatt and Ellie started preschool at the grade school. I knew this day would come soon. I tried to find one doctor to agree with me that Wyatt doesn't need to go at three. Well that never happened. So on the 21st of January we had a meeting at the school with the preschool teacher and all of his new and old therapists. They made goals for him. Wyatt will now receive speech, occupational and developmental therapy at the preschool. He will still have speech and physical therapy outside of preschool. Ellie gets to go with Wyatt to be a peer model in preschool. For those of you that know Ellie this is not a typo. She is Wyatt's voice. Her job is to tell me how their day went. Here are my two little people headed out in the big world. It's hard to even type this now. They have been going to school for three weeks. It hurts my heart that they have to go, but not theirs.
All smiles from them all morning. They could not wait.
In the car. Headed to school.
First few minutes in the classroom with teacher Beth. She is an amazing lady. She has her own children that have special needs. She understood were I was coming from. She is there herself with her own children and that gave me some comfort. I find a lot of wisdom from her because she has been were we are at.
First three weeks were tough didn't want to go home. When I did go home it was so quite. Our home has always been loud with little people. Things sure change. I knew this day would come but I should have had a couple years to prepare. I do hope and pray that this jump start for Wyatt will help him be successful in school when it is time to go. They both are love'n it and I am trying to love it.

That totally brought tears to my eyes. At least he has his sister with him, I hope that eases you a little. You are the best mommy Tera and you will be fine. It does get easier as time goes on, but we never stop missing them when they are at school. At least you have spring break coming up soon. Love you friend!

First thing first, Ellie looks soooo beautiful and Wyatt looks happy and handsome. You have the most good looking kids....They're beautiful.
Sometimes I still cry when I drop my kids off at school and it gets worse when I'm home alone but it does gets better though...
so proud of Ellie for being such a great big sister to Wyatt. Your kids are awesome!!
