My search for kindergarden is now complete! It's been a long, long, long, (did I mention it's been a long) journey. I went through multiple mood swings within this process that it was absolutely ridiculous. Getting my sons in a decent school was far worse than it was me getting into college (LOL).
Now I am happy to announce that my sons got accepted into 2 public schools and 1 charter school. Needless to say I chose the charter school. I believe that my children will be far more successful because of the curriculum and discipline they instill in the students. They immediately get the scholars (students) mindset geared towards attending college. My husband and I are in total agreement about that.
Anther thing that sold my husband and I on choosing a charter school over public, is that they have the resources available to help scholars with IEP (Individualize Educational Plan) achieve excellence as well according to that's child's best ability. Woo-hoo!
Since this process is over, I feel like I can breath...really breath. Our sons' futures seem bright and hopeful. I know my job as mommy and advocate is not over and it won't ever be over, but right now I can say thank you Lord and please take care of our babies! I still need to help them overcome some of their challenges with speech and language but they have come so far with the services they've received thus far.
Christian is using his language much more and sometimes his communication is scripted form like what he learned watching his programs but it's pertinent to what he's trying to say. Cameron is growing and making significant strides with speech and surprisingly his school work. I've committed to spending time with each of them separately to give them "mommy & me" time. It appears to work because I noticed that Cameron is becoming less dependent or overbearing when he's around his brother.
Well I gotta go now it's a holiday and it's time to get the boys wet with a good old fashion balloon water fight!
