News - July 26 to August 1

Hi everybody,
This week is full of exciting events:
- Daddy will come back on Wednesday night.
- Tony and I will be in Dallas on Thursday and Friday for his evaluation. He had his first evaluation this week at NTS with Cara, Liam and Duchis' OT therapist. He performed well at the tasks Cara asked him to do. I was told that his vestibular system is not working very well and that is why he moves a lot and that could interfere with his attention. The vestibular system is the one that handles the input the body receives from movement. Cara said that is easy to fix and we will be working on that. Otherwise, she tells me: "I think this is a case of GT". I said: "What is GT?" And she says: "gifted and talented". I tell her, "but his schools say that he is behind," and she says: "I think he may be bored by their circle time and activities." Plus, the teachers do not understand why he moves because they do not know about the vestibular system. So, we will have another evaluation in Dallas at a place called Brain Balance. Until now, we know we need to work on his vestibular system and we know our boy is precious and talented :) Cara said he have "a little engineer" in our hands.
- Wednesday is Tony's last day in Montessori. He is happy he will be having "school at home." He enjoyed all his playroom hours this week. Thanks to Erin, Kaffie, Shelby and Ashley for playing with him. I had great conversations this week about Tony's program with several therapist and SonRise teachers and we are learning a lot about how to implement his program.
- We are happy to have Erin back in our team and to see Kelsey and Mercedes again.
Enjoy my kids, and as Megan always says, focus on PLAYING AND HAVING FUN, everything else comes with it.
