Adorable!

that's all i can say about the vocabulary fashion show we attended at school last night!

the premise: each 4th grader chose a word, created an outfit and wrote their own script and each chose a song to accompany their stroll down the runway. collin's word was groovy. he was.

he chose simon & garfunkel's 59th street bridge song (feeling groovy) for his accompaniment. the soundtrack was varied... we heard everything from "boris the spider" to fergie's glamorous to tchaikovsky.

the flowers? the first one was for me (surprise! i actually caught it when he tossed it my way!) and the other was for his best bud's mom. she was touched, of course.

i wish i could share pictures of some of the other kids, but i don't want to get myself into any legal trouble here...

great news from the school psychologist yesterday, too! his test scores reflect every advance we've seen (and then some!) it feels so good to be able to put him into that "normal development" category at long last. he still has some lags and is playing catch up in most areas, so he still qualifies for support for speech and reading assistance, but:

he speaks!
he reads!
he writes!
his IQ is within the "normal" range!

i'll know more after our IEP on thursday.

our major goals for him have been exceeded! i'm ecstatic.
