In other news....William is in school now also! Time to have a party! I didn't write that, promise. He was able to get into the special education program that they offer at the older elementary school in Sidney. He is super pumped about riding the "school bus". Oh the joys of being little. His current testing scores were lower than the original that we did in May, and I know that most of it was because of the age standards. Since they had to test him again after he turned 3 the standards went up, so he was well over 50% delayed in two areas, and 37% in another. And his poor speech, he is misunderstood 57% of the time. No wonder we have "issues" with him. He goes to school 4 days a week, with Wednesday being his day off. He gets on the bus at 10:50 and doesn't come home until about 4:00. That makes for a LONG day for a 3 year old, not to mention his mama! But let me tell you something, he goes to bed a whole lot easier now! He use to be a huge challenge at bedtime and now its a piece of cake, and the best part, he stays in his own bed the WHOLE night! Its great!!
William will also be getting a new set of ear tubes on Monday. This will be his 3rd set in 2 years. His ENT is hopefull that this will be his last set, as most kids outgrow the need for them after 3 years. I on the other hand am being a little more realistic about it and have a feeling that we will be dealing with this problem for awhile. He is still getting to many infections even with the tubes in place. Our pediatrician is having to refer back to medicine that I received when I was little, to treat his ear infections, as he doesn't respond to the modern medicine anymore. So we will see how things go!
