Well first, here's the page I made (had to use those clocks anyway, for a creative team assignment. LOL.)
Next, a wonderful report about the first day. Priscilla called on her way home with the kids and said that she talked to the teacher when she picked them up -- the teacher said they both had an awesome day, and she said that if I hadn't told her about it, she never would have guessed that Jake has sensory problems! That is AMAZING!
I realize that he was probably on his best behavior for the first day, and as he gets more comfortable he'll probably act out more . . . I wrote out a 5 page letter to the teacher (at her request) explaining all of his issues and how to deal with them, and she's 100% willing to work with him however she needs to. She's very understanding and really wants to help him have good days. But the fact that the first day went off without a hitch?! AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man. I feel old. Do you feel old? I bet you feel really old, since you're older than me anyway and you're the one with the almost-four-year-old son.

woo hoo! big first day,that's great. ya know us Moms are more uptight about it than they are. Jordan started college last week and I berated him with questions, you gotta use an extraction process to get any info.

It's great to hear that Jake's 1st day of school got off to a wonderful start. I'm sure the greatness will continue! :)

That's great to read that Jake's first day went so well!! I remember when Ryan started in Feb this year, I was so nervous and worried about him all day but he had a great old time :)
His teacher sounds wonderful.
