A quick update on Luke in School!

Praise God Luke is doing SO AMAZING that it is actually INSANE how well he is doing!! We LOVE his school, LOVE LOVE LOVE his teachers!! He is making a lot of friends and the kids like him! This momma had scary dreams that her son would not really fit..even in a school where he should fit the most. His having no previous language or education for 10 1/2 years has really been a huge deficit for him and his social skills are pretty atrocious.. That being said.. Since Luke started school on Sept 6, only 8 school days so far, the changes are just unbelievable!  The biggest change is Luke is HAPPPPPPYY! He has always been happy but for a few months we have been having a ton of struggles and lots of behaviors that were umm, less then desireable to say the least. His behavior had plummeted over a few months to that of a 2 year old throwing crazy temper tantrums. For the moment ALL of that has gone away!! ALL OF IT!!!

Luke is happy happy happy and LOVES his school and cant wait to get there every day! He cant wait to come home and give me a blow by blow description of his day and I do mean Detailed!!! I get from the second he got off the bus at school until he gets home in crazy detail. I would say Luke has demonstrated about 75 new signs last week and plenty more this week. He is using all the new signs he is learning from his teachers and he is learning just from being IMMERSED in a Deaf community and culture everyday!!!He is learning sign from his teachers, aides, principal, administrators, all the students, even the cafeteria workers sign and Luke is loving it!!  You name the staff member and they sign.. His life is changing so fast right now it is giving me whiplash to watch! We are so proud of our very very smart boy and so so happy we didnt give up the fight to put him in the Delaware School for the Deaf, where we KNEW he would sky rocket and trust me HE IS!!
