FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL
Monumental day in the Hoffman household....all three girls at the same school...YEAH!
Brynn began sixth grade, Brooke began third grade and Bree started PreK. Since it takes us 30 minutes to travel to their school, the same drop off and same pick up is glorious! Bree was so excited this morning, despite having to get up at 6:30a. She kept repeating "its my first day of school, I am so excited". She told everyone that her new school is "Gesu, like my sisters". Doug and I are taking a leap of faith taking Bree out of the special needs preschool since she will not recieve OT and PT. She has made such excellent strides physically with her feet and legs. She amazes us every day. Fortunately, since Gesu is private, her class is very small thus far, with only six children. Since Bree has been "a regular" around Gesu for the past two years, she is very well known. She recieved a ton of attention today from teachers, parents and students which helped reassure us that we made a wise decision. We met with her PreK teacher after school today to explain that we have never treated Bree as if she has a disability, but in reality she does. She is beginning to notice that she cannot run like other children and has been asking lots of questions about "why she doesn't wear AFO's like me." We ask for God's blessing for guiding us in raising Bree with a good self esteem (something she seems to be mastering thus far!) The PreK teacher related to us that during circle time she told the students to "criss cross applesauce" with their legs. Bree looked at her and said "I can't do that." Her sweet teacher said "thats right you can't so you can keep your legs out straight". When Bree did that, the four other girls decided that they should sit like Bree! God love four year olds. Of course now we will be making more frequent trips to our private OT and PT to ensure that Bree is staying on track with her progress especially her right knee.
