Jonah started school yesterday.
He'll attend everyday from 12:30-3:00. It is a huge blessing. It seems quite similar to the developmental program he attended in Alma. I've really struggled the past couple of weeks with his need for activity and my limited ability to provide it for him. It's been oppressively hot so the playground has been out of the question, full day activities to the childrens' museum or zoo seem out of the question because of Lydia's schedule, and trips to the grocery store or shopping center don't really fulfill his need for sensory input. So we've been inside our house, trying to keep sane.
Until yesterday.
He didn't give us many details. There's a boy named A.J. that he likes, his favorite part was the puppet show, he had a doughnut for snack, and the story was about "kids." He came home with a smile on his face and couldn't wait to get back on the bus today.
If this experience is even half as beneficial to him as last year's teacher/class, then it will be a good year.

Yeah for Jonah!
What a darling picture.
I know you are glad his school has started. Now you can get some things done while he is away. But you will miss him too.
I was always glad for school to start, because the kids needed a change of scenery too. Ha.
Love, Grandma.
