Hi there!

Olivia's doing great in school! Her chair and sitz cushion

haven't come in yet but they should be here soon. The letter went

over great and although we haven't had any phone calls ( I didn't

really expect any) a lot of the parents at school ask questions and

comment on her. I'm so glad that they're not afraid to ask me about

Olivia and it really seems to cut down on the stares since they

curiosity is quenched! Snacking is going great and the other kids

aren't bothered by it at all.

The PT came to the school for 3 hours and observed Olivia in the

entire school and with her funding there's going to be some great

changes! In the bathroom they're going to split the dual sink

countertop and lower one sink to her level (and the level of the pre-

k kids), they're also going to lower 2 of the water fountains so

that she doesn't need a stool! There are still a few things to go

over but for now everything is falling into place wonderfully!

On a cute note... The PT and I were observing gym class and they

were doing a lot of running, 1/2 way through one little boy

said " Olivia's always last " , immediatly I tensed up and started to

get misty eyed and wounded for my girl when Olivia pokes her head

out of the line and says " I'm having fun! " I was so proud of her!
