School for Max

It's been soooo long since I wrote, since we spoke... Life here is upside down to say the least!!!
I'll get to that eventually!

What I wanted to tell you is that Max One Sock is now a school boy!!! He started last Friday. The first couple of days we just made short visits; he felt at home right away. After just a few minutes he crawled away from me and started checking the place out! He came back to see I was still there every once in a while at first but he soon took off and started playing in the other room.
On Tuesday and Wednesday I sat in the staff's room, to be around, had they needed me... but no:-)! Yesterday I left him in school and went home, biting my nails and almost HOPING they would call so I could come pick him up... but no:-)! He was so happy when I came, but after a few minutes he took off playing again.
I just came home from leaving him now... he is going to be there for six hours today! I miss having him around, but I am SOOO happy he is happy in school!
The other children are a little bit older, and they are all little caretakers! Today Malte, a 5½ year old boy, greeted him with "hey, Max, do you want to come play with the boat with us"!
I felt quite sure it would be easy to get him to like school, but not this easy!
You should have seen the joy in his eyes when we arrived there this morning!!! WOW!!!

Every pre school/day care have a special needs teacher. We met with her on Monday. She has all kinds of ideas of how to work with him, and they are setting up a plan to be able measure his improvements.
I am really glad, however, that a lot of progress has been going on these last few weeks,so that I can take credit for some:-)!
He now stands up against the furniture, walks if we hold his hands, makes more sounds (a lot of babababa) and understands more language! We use signs more frequently and he understands a few of them, but still doesn't make any on his own!
We are meeting with the doctor again on Monday. Hopefully we will get some answers to the cromosome tests we have taken.

Robert took him to get his first hair cut... I had meant just to trim the bangs and neck line, but Robert made sure he got his money's worth! So, now Max has very short hair!!!

I just got a call from one of the schools I am thinking of for Liam when he starts first grade this fall. I am going over there again to check it out. So, sorry, I can't finish this post! I have so much more to tell you! Will try to find time later on!!!!
Love you and miss you more than you can ever imagine!!!
