I’m very excited about two recent things. Very excited. Yet I know my hopes could be dashed in an instant. That is why I say I’m flying high without a parachute. If things fall through I am going to be more than disappointed.

One of two things I am using all the willpower I can muster up to refrain from talking about just yet. I don’t want to jinx anything. Let’s just cross our fingers and hope that today was not a fluke and that by Friday I will have something very exciting to share.

The second thing I will talk about, although I’m fearful when I call tomorrow they will tell me there is no room for Chee.

Chee’s SLP does not want her to be in a social therapy group with other kids that have language delays or disorders. She strongly suggests she be surrounded by typically-developing kids and that I make her social development a big focus this summer. That’s all fine and good, but it’s not always the easiest thing to have Chee in a class or something for typical kids. Especially as most classes for 4 year olds don’t include the parent. I will try and arrange play dates as often as I can, but we don’t have a huge social network. And those are at best once a week. My hope has been to get her in more stuff.

Then I stumbled across this and it seems like just the perfect thing for Chee. Dramakinetics: Performing Arts for Fun and Function. Typical kids and special needs kids mix together and, through performing arts, work on language development as well as fine and gross motor skills. Bingo! Perhaps I’ll sign Ess up for her age class too.

I’ve got the application filled out and tomorrow I’m calling to make sure there is space available.

Finding this class has me feeling elated! I’ve been looking for something for a few weeks now and keep turning up blank.

Now if Chee will keep up the good work on the other thing, this may rank as the Best Week Ever.

Stay tuned…
