Bunny has mild autism and has been in special ed pre-school and getting therapy. She has made so much progress that, this fall, all her peeps decided she was ready to mainstream kindergarten (with some helps). We’re so proud of her. And check out what she did this week, entirely on her own! She didn’t copy anything and Mama Buzz didn’t tell her what words to write or how to spell them. Wow!

The Buzzers are such excellent parents! Check out the kids’ railing they all painted together.

Lil Buzz made a ramp out of the xylophone, then dropped plastic beads on it to hear them play the notes.

In other news, we are SO PROUD of Bunny, who made the scary jump from Special Ed Pre-K to Mainstream Kindergarten!  She’s on the Autism Spectrum (though much less than Buzz), but has been doing SO WELL with her therapies and performance in school that Mama Buzz and all her peeps agreed she was ready!

She’s in the same classroom where she had summer classes, so is very comfortable there.  And she is still going to take the Special Ed bus with Buzz that she’s used to, have some extra help with a few things in the classroom, and go to Speech, Occupational, and ABA therapies after school.

But she totally ACED her Kindergarten academic evaluation.  She can count to 100; they only asked for 20!  LOL  And she knows her alphabet and can spell all three of her names, plus “Mom”, “Dad”, and her sibs’ first names.  So, between being accustomed to the whole school routine and being ahead on the academics, she’ll be able to focus on the social stuff that is her big autism-y challenge.

Gosh, it’s dusty in my office right now.
