Preschool

Sean has been doing very well in preschool. For the last several weeks, he has been completely tear free at school. He transitions between circle time, story time, craft time, and speech therapy without problems and he even knows exactly which chair is his. He has been earning all goods every day!

Sean continues to use more sounds and more words everyday. He has been surprising us everyday and I think he is even surprising himself sometimes.

His speech therapist called me last week to tell me that Sean has met all his initial receptive language goals. We had to come up with new things to work on. I was very excited. He is still not doing well on the horn series, though. He has just started to figure out how to blow air out with force. That's something he will keep working on.

It's All Good

Sean gets a report card of sorts every day at preschool.  On Monday, he got his first one that had all "Good" marks.  Sean continues to follow along during song time and he transistions from activity to activity very well.  His only problem is story time.  If the book doesn't catch his interest by the first page, he tries to escape.  They apparently have this issue with all their three-year-olds.  

Sean has also started behavioral therapy.  We have had four hours so far.  I am reserving judgement, but Sean is not responding to the therapy all that well.  From what I have read, it may take some time for him to adjust to the methods.  As an observer it confuses me.  Even I don't always understand what the therapist wants Sean to do.  But the therapist was recommended to me by two other therapists so hopefully, it will work out.
