School ended and then a very nice summer was ahead of us. Ryan participated in a summer autism camp and had a ball. We were also blessed to have his private school kindergarten teacher spend one day every week with him. It was a good, well rounded expereince in preparation to enter public school.
Ryan turned six in June. We visited the beach, parks, amusement parks, zoos, family and friends through the summer..it was a great summer. A week before school started, we found out that Ryan would have the teacher that we were hoping for. We also had his ISPT as well as a meeting with the school district representitives. Everything was working in our favor and Ryan was growing more and more excited about riding the big yellow bus.
We worked so hard for so long for this day...August 30th, Ryan's first day of public school, and it came faster than I could have ever imagined. With a big smile on his face and a bounce in his step, Ryan started another journey in his life...the journey of his school years. And with tears in my eyes, I celebrated the moment he got onto that big yellow bus. We did it!
