Okay, so no I'm not pregnant. Hopefully in the near future but I'm patient with that.
I actually got Alex into PRESCHOOL!!! It's been a few months now that I've called, complained, fought my way into getting his application processed! Dumb I know. Well I finally called every "site" in town for this particular preschool and gave them my sob story. All were full but one in particular was really sweet and wanted to help me. She called me back soon after to say 2 minutes after we hung up she got news that there was an opening, someone dropped out *yesterday*. She jumped on it, pulled some strings, and got my son into the program! We have orientation soon and he starts as soon as that's all done. It's 5 days a week with Fridays alternating off.
This may get him caught up enough socially to start Kindergarten this fall! If not then that's okay, we will hold him back if needed. I want to have a meeting in April or so with the Principal and anyone else who needs to be there to help decide if he's ready for it, he has an IEP so we are allowed to call meetings like that I've heard.
Yay for having a plan! I've fasted and prayed for this and am still in shock. He still has speech but now will be Mondays at 12:30 or so (he has MORNING preschool) and then Tuesdays at 2, which will be hit and miss if my sister is home or not. Works for me, he's doing great with Speech. See, I didn't have to bully my way into the program. I did it MY WAY and it worked. That and some help from above. :)

Yeah Christina! I am so happy for you! Good news! I was wondering if you could help me with putting a picture on the blog to stay permanently like yours of the three kids?? I don't know how to do that, so if you wouldn't mind, I could use your help!

Yay, I'm so happy for you. I can't imagine what a relief that must be. Thank goodness for good people. Good luck, Alex!
I have to admit, that title does have many meanings....:)
Christina, I'd be happy to watch Ari and Camden on Tuesdays when Catherine can't. I have plenty of toys they all can play with, even Ari.
YAY!!! Way to grow Christina ;) That will definately help with him "catching up" We do 3 days a week and 5 you will see an amazing transformation in a matter of MONTHS!! We did with Cassandra!!
Good Luck and YAY FOR ALEX!!!
WAHOO!!!! That is so awesome. I'm glad that things are finally working out for you and Alex!! :)
I heard you got a new calling. Congrats!!!!
Preschool is so fabulous. I am happy for you. My son has a speech delay also. It has been frustrating and exciting as he as struggled and then started to catch up. Good luck!
