Transition

Today Elena had her transition meeting. This meeting is were I meet with district preschool people and talk about her starting preschool. They talked about services she'll get like braille help and O&M. Since she's already getting most of the services they talked about, not a lot will change. We'll have another meeting once she starts school and make goals for her.

I'm excited for her to start preschool but don't think she's ready yet. She won't be 3 until the end of August so she has some time. I'm sure her dad will want to start her in August but I think we should wait until around January. Since it's preschool, they don't care when we start her as long as she's 3 so if we think she's not ready we can wait. We'll see what happens.

Sunny days are here!

Winter has taken a short break and now it's starting to feel like it's supposed to, Spring. Elena and I have been going to a local park and she loves it. Well, she loves the swing. :) There is a duck pond, tulip garden, playground and swings. All she cares about is the swing! lol. She'll do the slide a few times but as soon as she hears someone say "swing" it's all over. She needs the swing NOW or there will be a tantrum. She's always loved the swing, even when she was a baby. When she was a baby, her swing was sometimes the only thing that would make her happy. I don't know why she likes it so much. I'd think that, being blind, she'd be afraid of moving that way while not being able to see what's around her. No matter the reason, she loves it and laughs and sings the whole time. What a cutie. I can't wait for more sunny days at the park.
