Last Day of ESY 2015 Ends With Plenty Of Summer Fun

Whoo Hoo!!  The last day of summer school is here!!  The 4th Grade is officially over!

The weather was less than ideal when we woke up, it had rained through the night.  By 9:00 it was clearing so I texted Bobby's teacher to say that I was going to pick him up early and take him to adaptive swimming at the local pool!!!  What a fun way to spend the last day of school....at the pool! Of course, if you know me at all, I had to take some pictures before we left the classroom.

 Bobby was working on typing and reading when I arrived....

 Ms. Deb, Ms. Deb, Ms. Deb.......Bobby's morning mantra that he repeats every morning before school....yes, Bobby you get to go see Ms. Deb today!!!

 A good-bye peck on the cheek to his beloved Ms. Deb before we leave!!!  Oh, and his buddy Sonny had to say good-bye too!!

 Before we left, I received his classroom as well as his speech therapy report cards.  It's amazing to read the comments, "Bobby came to each session ready to work.  He listened and was easily redirected to the activity. Bobby was always a joy to work with."  Wow, how much work it took to get to this point!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I can't really even express just how much work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  "Bobby did an awesome job this summer.  He worked hard. Way to go Bobby on a job well done."  The angels are singing in my ears!!!!!

One last stop at his cubby to get his backpack and we were off to the local public pool for adaptive swimming.

 Bobby and one of his peeps from school and therapy were the only kids there!  They had the pool to themselves.....so fun.  It was even made better when Coach got in the water with them and the boys took turns getting her attention.  They had the BEST time, especially when the throwing began.  No, not Bobby, but his buddy.  However, Bobby did a great job counting down for him.....ready, set, GO!

We ran home for a lunch break and to relax for a bit before we headed out to our next stop, swimming at Stepping Stones.  We had the pool all to ourselves for a while.  Man, what a hot summer day, perfect for all day swimming!

 Then a little boy showed up that Bobby had seen one other time at the pool, and then.......they began playing together.  Laughing. Jumping in.  Having fun together!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 These boys made two autism moms happy today!!!

 So fun!!!!

Now at home resting for a little, I'm sure that there will be some family swimming this evening. It's a beautiful summer day!

We have something super exciting planned for Bobby over the next two weeks before school starts...stayed tuned!!!!
