Whachu say?

Nate was evaluated for speech issues on Friday at Frost Early Education Center. He always seemed a little behind the other kids in this area so we had him tested. I was torn the whole time between wanting him to not need help, but also feeling like I wanted him to qualify too. After Miss Nancy intitally met him she thought for sure he was in, Sweet let's get him the help he needs. Then Miss Shelley took him to do the actual test and he didnt quite qualify, Well that's ok, he's doing good on his own. Then she scored it and there were some issues he had trouble with like pronouns, Cool lets get him in the class. Then Miss Nancy did her color/number match/count test and he knew way more then they were expecting, Yea he's smart! So after everything he was in the middle of the normal range but just under the median line - not qualifying for the class. But they asked me to bring him in 1 day next week and have him stay so they could get to know him and see if there are areas they can help him in.
So Wednesday will be his very first day of school (although he may not return till August) I'm kinda hoping he'll get to stay so he has extra learning time before preschool. It's only 1 day a week for 1 1/2 hours and it's thru the county so it's free. It will definately be wierd to leave my baby with strangers and get in my car and drive away - yikes!
