The past couple of weeks have been hectic to say the least. We had Ethan’s full schedule, plus the end of the school year craziness with the other kids. There were field trips, field day, water day, class picnics, and more. Super busy, but so much fun.
Ethan has a week off before starting his new summer schedule. I’m looking forward to the week off, but I’m not 100% sure our summer schedule is going to be the best for him. We’re going to give it a shot and change things around if need be. As it stands now, he’ll have five appointments at home. Two on Monday mornings and three on Wednesdays, two in the morning and one after lunch. Those are the times that just happened to work best for his therapists. One one hand, it gives us three free days a week, but on the other hand, it gives us three free days a week.
He’s been managing a five day a week schedule for quite awhile. I think the two day schedule might work out. It’s not like he’ll be sitting around doing nothing on the three days off. I have already restocked the craft supplies, he has his sensory bean bin, bubble wrap, trampoline, therapy ball, swing set, swimming pool, etc. We have a membership to the museum and will likely get one for the zoo. We’ll be hitting playgrounds and hanging out with friends. My hope is that doing lots of other fun stuff will make the scheduled stuff not seem too much like work. And keeping the kids busy will hopefully keep their mother sane.
