Well, it's been a trying week ( see this post if you don't know what I'm talking about ), but after much effort and help from some great people, we finally managed to get Peter back into full-day pre-school. Well, it's not exactly full day - he's going to school from 9:00 to 2:30 each instead of 9:00 - 3:30, but it's a lot better than 9:00 - 11:30. Now we won't have to worry about finding a new daycare center for Peter ( Ruth works until 1 PM each day ), and he'll get the type of specialized instruction he needs all day.
Technically, Peter is only in class for the first half of the day, and he is been designated as a temporary "visitor" to the class in the afternoon. Basically, the teachers at Peter's school found a loophole for us to get around the Superintendent's rules. Things are going to need to be re-evaluated in January, but the teacher's seem committed to doing everything they can to help us out. Kim also gave a bunch of great advice on Friday and offered to meet with the teachers/administrator's at Peter's school if we needed more help pleading our case.
So, perhaps Peter getting kicked out of his daycare center will turn out to be a blessing. He'll definitely get better instruction in school than he would have in daycare.
Anyway, I decided to include another nice happy photo of Peter in this post. The photo above really shows the two sides of Peter. He really likes the piano and he's already shown a talent for making up little simple little melodies on his own :) . However, the marks on the walk behind him are the result of Peter using a magic marker on the wall the previous day. :0
