It was a good day

So today was a good day.
We had Owen's IEP meeting at school today and I have to say I am shocked I didn't cry! First Time!! Owen gets the biggest high five ever because he is doing so good in school. First all of his teachers at the IEP call Owen a success story. Everything they have done has worked so well with Owen. He has become more independant on figuring out if he needs a break or not and expressing his feelings to his teachers. He is at the point where they feel he doesn't need a teacher's helper in the room for him. However this may get looked at again once the school year starts up again.. if they feel he needs one they will bring one in, but from what they can see he does not need that extra help. He will continue taking his breaks, but his breaks are to the point where he walks out of his classroom and jumps 10 jumps on the trampoline and he goes back in. Owen still has headphones in his desk. These are taken for assemblies in the gym or Owen will put them on himself when he is at his desk working and there is too much noise. Owen's teacher said that she thinks he can be placed anywhere in the classroom, as far as desk location, and he does very well. He knows that when he is at his desk you need to work. The best news I got out of this meeting is his teacher just did his reading assesment on him and he is at grade level. I don't know exactly what level that is, but I think I wanted to cry at that point. He always could get there but he needed the extra help, now he can do it all on his own. His math is awesome. His teacher even said that he could move up to the next level (he is at the lower level) but the reason he is there is because it is more hands on. So it makes sense. So like I said what an awesome feeling.. I am so proud of him. Now Logan and I are waiting for him to get home to find out how he did on his spelling test.. I told Owen that if he got all his words right and two bonus words right we will go to Night at the Museum 2. He has to be excited. I think no matter what we will go, because I am so proud of him and all his accomplishments. Logan gets to go too because he did not have an attitude with daycare today. Yes this boy has developed an attitude. He told me a situation that happened today at daycare and said "is that attitude??" I told him no and then had to explain what an attitude is. I think he was a little worried because he had an hour to wait until Owen got home, he didn't want to ruin his chances of going.. So like I said.. What an awesome day!! Now a three day weekend!!
