Joey's First Day of School

Today was Joey's first day of School.  He was really nervous when he woke up this morning and had a lot of trouble deciding on what to wear.   But he was able to pull himself together and get to school (almost on time).  His first day was a total success.  When we first arrived it was playtime. JoJo played with a little Dora and playhouse.  He mainly played on his own, but did great when other kids came over to meet him and play along side him.  Also during this time, Nancy his OT found him the perfect chair and attachments so that he would sit up straight and his feet could sit flat on the floor.  The chair is now marked Joseph and will have his picture on it the next time he goes to school.  After playtime was a half hour of music time where the kids push their chairs to a certain area of the room and sit in a semi-circle while the parents are scattered around behind them.  Josh and I sat on a little bench a ways back from Joey.  His OT was right behind him.  The teacher told us it was fine if joey got restless and couldn't make it through the full half hour, but we were not worried.  Joey of course LOVED IT... he sat there like an angel for 30 MINUTES totally enthralled with what the teacher and other kids were doing.  He did look back at us a couple of times to make sure we were nearby, but did not want to leave his chair.  It was awesome and I must admit I got a little teary-eyed watching him.  After music time was a half hour of gym time where he got to run all over (with a little push cart) and throw giant balls around.  Then it was snack time, more play time, and then we went home.  He was asleep in the car practically before we left the school's parking lot.  I'm so proud of my little schoolboy JoJo!!
