reality bites

Ben has been placed for Kindergarden. He is one of two kids in his class who are going to a self-contiained class. All the others are going to language support, or a less restrictive class.
Think that doesn't bite? It does. I found this out when I went for the mother's day tea. Mother's were discussing which school their kids were going to, etc.
Such a bummer!
I will say that Ben's receptive language is perfect. He does know and process everything we say to him. He's able to communicate most of his needs (one-four word sentences) and has recently started singing. His two songs du jour... For the holidays.... two names say it all (Raymoore and Flannigan commercial) and the wheels on the bus. It is adorable, and he's really trying to sound good. (he has his mother's pitch.... ewwwww)
Other then that.. we're in full summer mode. We were swimming twice this weekend, went to a fair, and life for Ben couldn't seem better. Of course he's become a pool snob. He only wants to go to the YMCA or to his aunt's pool. We fill up his little blow up pool, and he says no pool... no outside. The kid suddenly doesn't want to go outside??? WTH? Brent and I are total outdoor people.
We took down a bush/tree this weekend, and while we're tying it up I bought out cars, etc for Ben to play with. He sat in Brent's truck. dud!!!
The one GREAT thing we're looking forward to is getting Ben into the school districts after-care program in Sept. It will cost us 230.00 a month opposed to 800.00. Of course that money will be chewed up and spit out god know's where... but almost 600 extra bucks a month!!! SWEET!
