It's the end of the school year and things have been crazy. At least one field trip a week, Special Olympics, bookfair, Field Day, Mother's Day, etc. Alden had a substitute today too so I'm sure that was an interesting change of pace.
Anyway, a brief update and bit of good news. Alden's Speech Therapist called today and asked if we could update his IEP. We had his IEP meeting a few months ago so it surprised me that she was calling. (Plus, as a parent you are always like "OH SHIT WHAT DID HE DO?" when you see that it's the school that is calling.) Apparently he's started speaking louder, having conversations, and talking more in general at school. They have noticed he has articulation problems. This might sound like a bad thing to most people but it's actually pretty terrific. His IEP will be updated and one of the focuses will be articulation. A couple years ago this would have been something I didn't think would ever happen, we were just trying to get him to talk TO us instead of AT us. So anyway YAY ALDEN! Kicking ass and taking names!!!
