A Cat at CID...

This past Tuesday and Thursday nights, I have had to stay at work until after 8 pm for parent teacher conferences! In return for our late nights, we got Friday off! It was a perfect day to be off too, as I got to help Luke Trick or Treat at CID! We started our morning off with circle time...

Here are his teacher Ms. Natalie and his classmates, Francis, Buka, Boogie and Ella!
After their morning routine, they all put their costumes on! This was a bit of a fight for Luke and I as he is a TOTALLY different little guy at CID. He refuses to talk, until he opens up a bit around 11, just one hour before class is over, and on Friday he screamed b/c he didn't want his Cat in the Hat costume on.
Luckily, I won that battle (minus the hat!) and he was able to trick or treat with the rest of his class! Here he is with Miss Natalie - prompting his language, and Ms. Katie, his SLP, handing out the candy!
After about an hour of trick or treating...the kids got TONS of candy as EVERYONE at CID participated in handing out candy and the kids got TONS of practice and lots of good language!!! Here Luke is getting ready to dig in! Check out the smile now!!!
He got to eat a few treats then went to gym class, while I went to talk to the Pre-K principal to discuss the possibility of Luke attending there. In a nutshell the program is AMAZING and I'm sure Luke would grow in leaps and bounds...just not sure what we are going to do in February when he turns three yet!!!

After our meeting and Luke's class was over, we ran to the car. Check this out...Luke would not let go of his candy bag. In fact, he held it the entire way home!!! Check out the cheese in this pic!!!
Stay tuned...pics from Jackie and Steve's Halloween Party!!!
