Today the advancement results came out from the test Jay took back in march. He didn't advance, but that is okay with us we expected it. At the time the test had taken place he had been insanely busy and had no time to study. In fact we'd been making jokes about him advancing this way. Luckily we've had plan B set up for weeks and that is the route we'll be going for him to advance. Plan B is a program where he'll go to school for a few months and at the end of the school he'll advance to Petty Officer 2nd class. So by the end of this year he'll be a 2nd class. The approval has already gone through, had to for him to put in for his re-enlistment, and so now we're just waiting on word as to when he'll be gone for the school.
The other good news (yes we consider that good news) is with Kaden. Last week we had an IEP meeting with Kaden's teacher and the staff he's been working with during this last year at school. This was to determine what help, if any, he would need for kindergarten. We got FABULOUS news at the meeting. Kaden gets to fully intergrate into a regular kindergarten class and will only require speech therapy!!!!!!!!!!! We are so happy and proud of him. He'll have speech therapy every day for 50 min once school starts in the fall. He has come such a long way in the last year that wouldn't have been possible without all of the help we got through the ABA people and school. Kaden is so excited about going to kindergarten and keeps asking when he gets to go.
Life has been good for us and we've had many blessings come our way. Next week will be truly an exciting week for us. Jay will be re-enlisting and the kids and I will be attending the ceremony. I can't wait to see him do this, we know its the right decision for our family. It was a decision we made together, like all choices we make in life, and I support him to the fullest.
