Cade's Update

My sweet Cade. He seems so big to me lately. He is about to turn 6 and he is very, very, VERY excited about his birthday party. Do you want to guess the theme? Penguin of course!! We have had to stop his therapy for a while. I opened a statement from the insurance company which showed me that they were no longer paying for his therapy!!!!! I found this out 4 sessions after the fact (at $200 a pop). GASP, CHOKE, GROAN. Nice of someone to tell us! Cade seems to be making great progress with his therapy. I never thought that seeing Cade skip would make me so happy. After jumping through some insurance company hoops, we got Cade approved for 20 more sessions!

School is a bit up and down for Cade. He is very bright, but sometimes it does not show! If you catch him on a bad day, then it is like he knows nothing. He had an assessment at school on a bad day and the results were bad. He was evaluated for reading on a different day, and he placed on a high reading level. I have a feeling that Cade's future will hold a lot of ups and downs.

Cade just finished a Little Gym session. The Little Gym has been wonderful for him! It really helps him. We started a new session. His class was large and all girls!! Not good for Cade. Cade was having meltdowns and freaking out a bit. Some of the girls found this to be hysterical so they would sneak up on him and touch him which would freak him out which they found funny which led to more intentional touching. It was not good. We switched him to the Karate class which is much smaller and has boys in it. He is much happier! Here are some pictures from show day at Little Gym.

Doesn't he look so graceful - or not!
