This morning I met with Sam's E.I. and Service Coordinator. Both are wonderful women that I feel lucky to have on Sam's "team." We talked about her progress and are preparing to write her IEP here in the next few months. I have heard such horror stories about IEPs and the many violations of them. I will admit I am a bit nervous about the process but am currently arming myself with plenty of knowledge and a few folks to help me along the path. I'm sure as time gets closer I will have more focus on this issue in particular.
It rained here all day so Sam was couped up indoors except for a short trip to the office. We did coloring, play doh, one major tantrum that resulted in us cleaning her room real well, and then a good long nap. Tonight we are spending time at home celebrating Daddy's birthday. He called to say he was on his way and Samantha did really well talking on the phone with him. She still won't hold it to her ear, but on speaker she told him "Love you," and "Bye bye, Daddy!" I love how she will carry around a play phone all day yakking into it like an auctioneer, but as soon as there is someone on the other end....silence.
Tomorrow will be an early morning then an afternoon at home preparing for Grandma and Grandpa's visit. We have been talking with Sam a lot about them and Grandma talks to her on the phone at least every other night. I hope she is grasping a concept of them and their impending arrival.
I received 2 new books in the mail today (Thanks to my wonderful aunt's generousity and support) and will be adding them to my list at the bottom of the blog. Check them out.
