Last day of PDO

A gift from Avery's teachers in the Red Room, a collection of pictures from her year at school
Today was Avery's last officialday at her PDO class or as we have been calling it all year "school". I have to say our decision to put Avery in this program was one of the best decisios we could have made for her socially this year. She LOVED going every week and never once put up a fight because she didn't want to go to school. She made many friends and learned great life lessons when she was away from mommy.  The first day I remember the teacher saying that she had a difficult time with transitions and didn't understand how to move from one activity to the next.. she also had to bring her blanket and pacifer everyday just to get through the door for the first several months. Today she was asking to go to school at 8am and with a skip in her step off she went today with no worries of whether mommy was coming back to get her. I hope that she enjoys her new school next year as much as she had enjoyed this program!
