Off and Running

What a crazy time it has been in the Long house!!!

First the big news......(drum roll please)  Wally has a new job!!!!   He has been hired by the wonderful people at Harbor Capital Investments as the IT guy in their Boston satalite office.  It's a very big job for him with a lot of opportunities to turn it into a full fledged adult type career.  We are all very excited for him. 

In the process of this, we have had to find a place for Grayson to spend his time while not in preschool.  We had a wonderful woman who you have all heard about and sadly she has moved on to her own new wonderful adventure.  We are so lucky that he will be joining an in home preschool/daycare setting just a few blocks away. Grayson has been loving the preschool experience at school and we really want to continue to encourage that social interaction as much as possible and since he couldn't return to his last spot this one seemed like the next best thing. 

Grayson's follow up to his IEP, which is mostly to discuss the extend evaluation period since he joined school has been scheduled.  It is currently scheduled for May 8th at 1pm.  Sadly, due to Wally's new gig I will be heading into this one solo.  It's a little frightening but I'm sure they will have nothing but wonderful information to share. 

Grayson has had an entire day today without any accidents!!!! He has requested (or just ran) to the bathroom when he needed it.  We are very excited about this and he was treated to some delicious ice cream as a reward for being such a big boy.   We got to spend our last week with everyone at home together this week, I did a few hours in the morning for one of my students but other then that there has been lots of family time.  In the process we have made some big changes around the house and those of you that have been there should be ready for a whole new look coming to the Long house very soon!

Everyone is very eager to return to a more normalized schedule, even though the new schedule will turn all of our lives upside for a bit.  We are so incredibly thankful to you all for the love and support you have given us through this time and we are so ready for all the adventures up ahead.  Have a great week!!
