First week of pre-school for Cole

Cole started pre-school this week at Cornerstone Pediatric Rehabilitation. http://cornerstonepediatricrehab.com/home
It is a special needs pre-school that incorporated PT, OT, ST, and DT into the day along with regular pre-school stuff. He goes 2 days a week for 3 hours each day. He did really well on day 1. Didn't cry, worked hard, had fun. A totally different story for day 2. Cried for a solid hour, wouldn't cooperate with the therapists and then fell asleep. The poor little guy is totally over-scheduled and we are evaluating what is going to stay and what is going to go.

He is doing really well with hippotherapy. He now rides twice a week. I've seen a huge difference in his head and back strength. This is by far the best thing we've found for him. He likes to ride now and doesn't cry when he goes to the horse (& away from me).

We are decorated and ready for Christmas. Gavin has only intentionally broken one ornament. I think that is pretty good. The Christmas Elf is watching their every move and reporting back to Santa nightly. This is the first Christmas where I think they are a little interested in the decorations and are starting to get that this is a really fun and magical time of year.
