SPICA Day 9 -- First Day of PreSchool

 Since this picture we have bought and modified a little table that 

slides right up to G a the perfect height.

It was a great first day!  Graham and I made it up to his school with his stroller, lunch box, Jaggy, nap blanket, nap pillow, leg prop pillow, car seat, extra clothes, extra liner diapers, paper work for his teacher, and a love note in his shirt pocket.  Whew!  When we go there, I spend some time getting him all settled into his car seat.  The table is just a smidge too high.  Chad and I are going to look for an alternative this weekend.  Probably IKEA.  That place has everything.

He was making new friends and telling tales of ambulance rides before I left. 

I went over to check on him mid-morning and he was in his car seat playing with some blocks.  He looked a little lonely.  The other kids were in different centers playing in the room.  I think today was the first day he realized he can't do everything he wants to do.  It will help a lot once he's cleared to move around on the floor a bit.  He had already worked on tracing his name and painting a picture.

When Chad got there to pick him up at 1:00 he was on his little nap cot all conked out. 

Next week, we will do 1/2 days again on Monday and Tuesday, then it's back to the dr. for a follow-up on Wednesday.  We'll see about the rest of the week after that!

Muscle spasms were horrible again last night.  We're almost out of Valium which doesn't matter because it doesn't do anything anyway.  I can't find anything helpful...there's very little that I can find on spasms related to broken bones except that they happen as the muscle works to hold the bone in place.  I hate hearing the word "spasm".  I hate typing the word "spasm".  It will be permanently deleted from our vocabularies once this ordeal is over!
