Oliver is registered for P R E S C H O O L !!!!!!!! In the fall, our sweet miracle will join the ranks of academia. Wow. To be honest, these thoughts were far from my mind. I never pictured him with a backpack and lunchbox walking into the school building. I never imagined him sitting at a desk, following instructions, doing science experiments, "writing," cutting with scissors or playing during recess. This is an amazing milestone. I am beyond excited to take those first day of school pictures in September.
We have a few "hurdles" to overcome before preschool can happen and one of those is potty training. We are -- SLOWLY -- on our way to make this happen but overall he is doing okay. When I talk to him about going to school, he is very excited.
Between now and then here is how you can pray for him (and us):
- Potty Training!! The goal is to have him 100% trained by the start of school in September.
- He needs to wear his glasses! (They got lost so we are currently waiting for his new pair to come in)
- Walking up and down stairs (with alternating feet) with limited support (aka without holding onto the rail).
FUN FACT: In 2020, Oliver is a Children's Miracle Network "Champion!"
- What does this mean: Every year, 170 local Children's Miracle Network Hospitals identify a “Champion” in each of their local communities to serve as the face for children treated at their local children's hospital. These ambassadors spend their year advocating for the charitable need of children's hospitals across North America.
At the end of the month we will be attending the Children's Miracle Network Summit to kick off this fantastic year. Be on the look out for his picture at your local Safeway, Costco, etc.
