EK's last day of Early Intervention

Today was Eva Kate's last day of Early Intervention. We will miss her sweet sweet therapist Sally so much. We are however so very thrilled that EK will start at Trace Crossings (TC) Preschool next week. Here she will get therapy and regular structured playtime with peers 3 hours a day M-F. We have been on a mad hunt for a MDO program that is located in Hoover City limits that could be her extended care after she leaves Trace Crossings on the days I work. We finally found one that would work at 4 pm today and we are thrilled at the blessings God has showered us with today. The school EK will attend each day after she leaves TC is Discover UMC's preschool program. It is packed with lots of fun activities that other MDO provided and extra things like gymnastics, sports, Spanish, music arts, and crafts. The best part is it's right across the street from TC. I just wasn't thrilled about putting my 3 year old on a bus to travel across Hoover to go to extended care.

Yesterday at 3 pm we recieved a call from TC saying EK's after care wasn't in the Hoover City Limits and we would have to take and pick her up each day from school. After many tears, looking at all options, and much stress yesterday, last night, and this morning I will be able to continue working on the Birth Suites 4 days a month along with working for the Wellness Dept. teaching classes and doing health fairs. I guess through all the immediate stress over the last 24 hours I realized work is important but being a mommy comes 1st. Hopefully all of EK's programs will work well together, especially with the city providing EK with a special Ed bus to take to Discovery each day after she completes her day at Trace Crossings. So many new changes to come, but we are so glad EK will finally get the extra help she needs everyday. Thanks again Early Intervention for helping us make a smooth transition into the public school setting.
