Check-ups

We got back from our back-to-school check-ups. Eli weighs 28 pounds (16%) and is 36 inches tall (31%). Sean is 39 pounds (22%) and 44 inches tall (45%). I was so surprised to see these percentages for Eli. He seems so sturdy compared to other kids his age. Both boys had to get 4 shots to get caught up. They took them like pros, but both are walking really funny now.

Sean starts school bright and early tomorrow morning. He will go half days for one week and then full days the rest of the year. He will be in a special education classroom 65% of the time. The class has 5 students with one teacher and two aides, so he will get lots of one-on-one instruction. He went to preschool with all of his classmates so they will be familiar faces. His preschool teachers will be in the classroom for the first two weeks to help with the transition.

Our therapy clinic can no longer stay afloat. They are closing their doors after this week. The good news is that the therapists we use have already secured a new office site and hope to be seeing kids the very next week. We grabbed our normal time slots with them and were able to get an extra time slot for Eli. It will be more expensive because the old clinic was able to give financial aid but that's life. It's the reason Jonathan works like seven jobs.

And speaking of Jonathan's many jobs, his third book is in the editors' hands. I have proofread most of the book and I really enjoyed it. I would assume they are looking for a December release but I'm not sure, yet. I'll let you know.
