Bun Bun at School
It is almost the middle of September, about time for a Bun Bun update.
Baby Bunny missed the first three days of pre-school that started at the end of August. The night before her first day, she spiked a fever and was very much out of commission for at least the first half of the week. With it being a short 3-day week followed by a long Labor Day weekend, she was definitely well rested for her official start of school.
Bun Bun has been attending a pre-school with typical kids ranging from ages 3 to 5. I am not sure how many, if any, other special needs kids there are in her class. There are 20 all together. She is one of the youngest. According to her really nice teacher, Bun Bun is the smallest by size. In fact, her classmates call her "Baby".
Every morning, we get up at the crack of dawn to get ready. The school bus picks her up at 7:20am and round up 4 other kids to make it to school by 8:30. Yes, it's a very long ride. If we drove ourselves, it would only take about 20 minutes. Unfortunately, Bun Bun is the first to be picked up in the bus route. Since she's also the last for drop off, she's on the bus for over an hour on the way home. Bun Bun has gotten used to the routine, somewhat, and she is able to sleep on the bus a little bit. She now gets to bed before 8pm!
Earlier this week, her teacher emailed some updates. Apparently, Bun Bun is doing pretty well and adjusting nicely. She participates in all of activities like circle time and sits nicely with other kids at the table for work and meals. Because she still struggles with core strength, keeping up with her peers has been a challenge. She will walk in tow with the other but gets distracted by people because she feels she has to wave and say hello to them. Yep. That's Bun Bun.
Today, they were playing dress up. Her teacher took a picture...
Here are a couple of pictures of us waiting for the school bus with her backpack. The first picture was taken seconds before she fell over from the weight of the pack. She needed some TLC to soothe over the boo boo.
