Kindergarten has started for my cute ASPIE

We are almost one month into Kindergarten and so far ok.....

We are completely blessed to have the best neighbors in the world. The bus seems like an anxiety for Dom, he is one of the last kids to be picked up and as he walks onto the bus he has no idea where to sit But the awesome girls who live next door, find him a seat and even buckle his seat belt for him. It is a great start to his day.

Dom has had a great transition to Kindergarten so far, he is truly enjoying art, music, PE, etc. He is also liking circle time. I have to laugh at him sometimes, i often forget what a great memory kids with Aspergers actually have. With only a few weeks of Kindergarten behind him, he can actually recite circle time, word for word when he gets home, including calendar time, the whole alphabet chart, etc....It is quite amazing and crazy. If only i had the memory of Dom, i could of been a doctor or lawyer.

The only setback that he seems to be having is recess, which probably wouldn't surprise the special needs parents out there. Dom told me the other day that no one plays with him on the playground, that he is all one but is not sad. Some would say that him not being sad is a positive sign. But when you think about it spectrum like being alone, so that does make them happy. I really want Dom to be happy playing with others, fostering relationships and being comfortable in his own skin. I do have teachers looking out for him and it is ONLY September, so it can get better, right?

Well that is it for now, only 9 more months till June!!
