Gabe's preschool had a puppet show today and invited families to come watch with the kids.
Grandma Jan came and watched with us.
Gabe was chosen out of the audience to go up on stage. Here he is being a "human scale".
I love Gabe's preschool! It's great they have fun activities like this for the kids, but more importantly Gabe's had the most amazing teacher! She has helped him learn and grow so much. She's recognized things in Gabe that I didn't and has helped me understand him better. She's also been great about finding creative solutions to his behavior problems. I can't tell you how much it means to me for him to have a teacher that cares to put in the extra time and effort to help him instead of taking the easy way out. She's had him sit in a rocking chair at school and has even spun him around in an office chair at times. Strange, maybe, but I LOVE the inventive solutions to his behavior problems much better than a written prescription, especially when they work for him and we see results!
Sorry, I didn't intend for this post to be about anything other than the puppet show. I guess I'm just getting sentimental knowing that we are leaving and this will be his last month at this school.

Vestibular sensory input! Works for Harvey too. I have to sit and squish his knuckles together to get him to sit still through sacrament meetings. Good luck with your move, Rachel. I hope it works out great for you.
How lucky you are to have found a teacher for Gabe who truly understands HIM and what will work for HIM! I have seen huge improvements in him and what is even better is that he seems so happy, mature and confident. We will just have to keep praying for Heavenly Father to put these kinds of teachers in his path...he is truly an exceptional boy and I feel he is tapping in to his talents! XOXO
