Last day of preschool for Corbin..1 down..2 more years to go :))


I don't have enough good things to say about Litchfield Elementary School. The special needs preschool program seriously kicks a**. Corbin's teacher (Mr. Billy Henderson) definitely has set the standard for years to come. He is so patient with the kids and very creative. Because of the lovely economy, his job is being cut and he has yet to find something. It makes me sick. If we had gobs of money, I would seriously hire him to be Corbin's private tutor.

I spoke with Mr. Billy about Corbin and he said that he pretty much is at typical levels for everything except for speech. He still highly recommends speech for him regardless of whether or not we decide to keep him in special needs next year. He now plays with other children and is speaking many phrases and in small sentences. He fully understands what I say and we understand what he says. I have really enjoyed his 3's. He's come such a long way. Oh, and his class size was combined with another class (plus siblings) if you were wondering why in the world his class was so big. He had 1 teacher, 6 aids plus an occupational therapist and a speech therapist on certain days. He was definitely spoiled :).
On Monday we started "officially" potty training. I'd planned it a few weeks ago (because I plan lol). It's easier than I thought because he already has been going pee and poop on the potty for sometime now, he just will still go in his diaper/pull up as well. So Monday, he was in his underwear and he forgot and did pee on our couch (good thing I hadn't rented the carpet cleaner yet). Yesterday, we were at Daryl's parents house and he accidentally went on their tile 5 mins after he "went like Daddy". I think when he tries to stand and do it, he doesn't get it all out, so it made sense. Today, not one accident. He was even dry at nap time (although he was in a pull up). We are bribing him with jellybeans everytime he goes and today he's gone like every 1/2 hr-hour just so he can get two jellybeans lol. So far so good!!
