IEP tomorrow

Like it says, its tomorrow. Hopefully, things will go as planned. Hopefully, we won't have to be the total hard asses we are planning to be. I really think that with the SLP and the special education teacher we met at his evaluations running the IEP, it should be fine.

Regardless, we are prepared. We have a list of three goals for Speech, Adaptive, and Social/ Emotional development that we have come up. We are also trying to come up a Positive Behavioral Intervention Plan. Given the information about corrective actons- strapping a child into a chair designed for low tone without an explanation- we want to be sure that we have something in place.

Little Bug is humming along marveously. He is beginning to pretend in unscripted ways. Last night, his trucks had a conversation:

TRUCK 1- falls down and says- DAMMIT! (i know we need to work on that)
TRUCK 2- Help you?
TRUCK 1- Peese help!
TRUCK 2- One second, one second. (drives over rather slowly) What doing?
TRUCK 1- Fall down
TRUCK 2- It otay. Get up! (pushes Truck 1 upright)
TRUCK 1- Thank you!
TRUCK 2- Welcome! Be safe! (crashes repeatedly into our dog Frank's leg and then is carried away by his jaws of death)

Minus the swear word- which is mild considering what his daddies' have unthinkingly said- this was amazing! He didn't have anyone prompt him or help him. He just did it. Now, we just need to transfer this over to actual interaction with people- especially peers. Interaction never goes this way in real life.
