End of summer

So everyone is back to school. Chace started 5th grade and loves his teachers! Last year, they couldn't convince him to go to regular reading. This year he wants to attend the regular reading class and doesn't want to get pulled out, which is great. I do wonder if part of it isn't that the doesn't want to be known as the autistic kid anymore. He doesn't want to be in the inclusion program next year at the middle school for that reason. If he can handle being in the class full time, we are for it! He has grown and matured so much over the last year.

Alana is back at the daycare. I think she had enough of a break this summer, and actually missed her friends, so we aren't getting any whining about school this year. She will be starting their new preK program next week, which she really needs. Alana is smart as a whip, but has no interest what so ever in learning how to read. Very different from Chace!
