They didn't want individual pictures, but compromised on having one with Anthony instead.

 Dancing some more

Everyone enjoyed school.

I have the most to say about Anthony's, just because it's so funny.

Lilly and I went to pick Anthony up so he could go to water therapy.

We were parked outside the playground, and could see him at recess.

The aide was trying to get him to start walking back to class and Anthony kept dropping to the ground and going limp.

She had no idea what to do, and kept looking at the other aides to see if they had any ideas.

They were busy with the other children and didn't even notice what was going on.

She was so frustrated, and tried a few more times to get him to walk to no avail.

Finally, she picked him up and carried Anthony to class.

Lilly and I were laughing so hard the entire time because we knew he was basically throwing a tantrum because he didn't want to leave the playground.

He wanted to keep playing.

When I went in to pick him up, they told me Anthony was so tired he was laying down at the playground.

I laughed and explained that he might be tired, but the playground antics were purposeful, and he does that when he doesn't want to cooperate or go somewhere.

Also during school, Anthony went into the class bathroom and laid down on the changing table (special education class).

He wrapped a blanket on himself, pointed to the light switch, then said, "Nap nap."

I laughed hard at this, because he's never asked for a nap (never even said the word!), and he hasn't had a nap in months if not years!

The last funny thing is that when I was picking Anthony up, they said, "Wow, he really IS fast!"

I tell people, and they don't get why I have to have my eyes on him non-stop.

I'm not kidding.

He is fast, he has no fear, and he doesn't understand danger or safety.

So after we picked Anthony up, Lilly and I took him to water therapy.

The whole way there, he kept wiggling his tooth.

Several months ago, Anthony had two permanent teeth grow in, but the baby teeth wouldn't come out.

Right before it was time to go in the pool, he got the tooth out!

So, Anthony lost his first tooth on his first day of kindergarten!

 He loves Kit!

And, he's so close to swimming!
