Ginja and school

I can't say I have seen a child love school as much as Ginja does. Currently we are integrating her, so Mon-Fri she attends from 9:40-10:40 am. She loves her EA which I was terrified if they didn't click. Already they have sent home paintings and she talks of playing with play doh. Her EA was impressed on how well she has been behaving and her skills in cutting play doh. School hasn't seen a full on meltdwown yet, I hope they are prepared for what is to come when she is there full days and is completely comfortable. The new school was supposed to open in September, then October and now the update is for January 2015, so I am just going to come to terms that it won't be until the following school year and move on from the excitement of the brand new sensory room and security measures that school would have held and now just working with the school to ensure the best security of Ginja. This is why she starts 20 mins after the other children and doesn't go out for recess yet. Even when she is sick she has asked to go to school! So we are hoping to keep her excitement up through the year and the next exciting bit will come with the new school. She is having a hard time understanding why she is going to Lil Mans school but he isn't, as they separated by grades instead of individual schools as they thought the kids would be in by thanksgiving. Lil man catches his  bus at 7:40 and is back at 3:30sh give or take dependant on the base traffic. Ginja is excited to watch for him to come and every bus she sees belongs to him. Lil Man joined the track and field team this year so early morning practices have me running all over. 

It just hit me that I am getting married in two weeks! I have so much to accomplish!! I have to finish my seating plan, card vintage suitcase, centrepieces (will preassemble) some extra flowers, waiting for grooms ring to get here, reorganize the house for all of our guests and a huge grocery shop!! I am excited but a little stressed as to all that I have left!!!
