Owen's school recently called us into a meeting to discuss the fact that they are a 5-day program and they weren't aware that Owen was only going to attend 3 days a week. Never mind that he had been attending just 3 days a week for the past four months. Anyway, we agreed to start taking him 4 days a week beginning in March, but they had so many days off, he really only had one full week anyway. This picture was taken on a day that they were closed for parent/teacher conferences, we had such a good day. Do you think he could be any more relaxed? To this day, Max is his constant companion and does not let him out of his sight. They're so cute together, when they're both being nice anyway! Max seems to think that because Owen plays so rough with him, he should be able to be just as rough back. It makes for an interesting scenario, you'd think they were brothers as much as they argue!!! ;O) Just as an fyi, Owen's teacher pulled her claim that he was "falling behind" at our parent/teacher conference, but did say he wouldn't participate in the one on one "lessons" that the teachers do with the kids and it made it difficult for her to tell where he stood academically. We had a long talk with him (and started taking away things) and now he participates in lessons all day long. His teacher seems shocked with the overnight change...it would have been nice to know these things earlier so we could have nipped it in the bud!
We're waiting for a montessori program that's supposed to open just around the corner sometime around the end of August to see what we think. It's going to be taught by 2 teachers formerly from Owen's school and a retired elementary teacher. Plus, they are going to have a Spanish teacher on staff and next summer, they are having a 10-week Spanish intensive camp which is awesome because all of the kids around here are eligible for the Spanish immersion program. I'm hoping we like the school and can move him, it would literally cost us half of what we're paying now and we wouldn't have to take Owen on the highway at all. In the meantime, we're going to leave him where he's at and hope for the best with this other school.
Just a cute shot of our bubble boy! He' so goofy, I love his little grin.
Hockey is over and Dave's team one first place!!!! Unfortunately, the championship game was during nap time, so Owen and I missed it. But, Dave brought the trophy home for us to see...they have to share it with the whole team. The best part of the win was that it was against the team that the girl tripped Dave and tore that thingy in his knee....talk about vindicated! ;O) Now, if there were only some reward money to cover the MRI!!!
Hope you are all having a good week!
