"Lean On Me"

"A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME"

(it takes a bit for the images to load, but they're worth the wait.)

My mom and dad, Colleen and Steve, wanted a baby for a looong time. The doctor said Momma couldn't have another baby. Boy were they surprised when the pregnancy test was positive. After the shock wore off they were sooo happy. My big brother, Richard, didn't know what to think. He was an only child, until I made my appearance. He was almost 15 years old when I was born. Now that I'm here, he loves me and spoils me rotten. My Grammy, Grampy, Memaw and Pepaw spoil me, too, but they'd never admit it. They all love me so much and of course, I love them back, BUNCHES! The pictures above are of me with Momma, Daddy, Brother, Grammy, Memaw & Pepaw. I don't have a picture of me with Grampy...we've never even seen each other in real life, just in pictures.

I'm currently enrolled in an EIP (Early Intervention Program).My EIP teacher, Miss Tammie, comes to visit me every week. She plays with and loves on me. Every 6 months my physical therapist, Miss Susan, comes to visit me. She does an assessment on my development. They both give my mom tips on helping me reach my developmental milestones. When they are here they work with me on different things, but I am very stubborn. If I don't feel like doing something, even if I know how to do it, I won't do it. "All I have to do is throw a little fit."
UPDATE 1-4-99
I have a new teacher!! Her name is Miss Heather. She's very nice, but I will not forget Miss Tammie. Miss Tammie will be visiting me when I have my IFSPs (Individualized Family Service Plan) done.
UPDATE 1-1-2000
I'm going to Susan Gray School now. I really like it alot. I love my teachers there. I enjoy playing with my friends. I even have a few girlfriends. It will really be hard to leave when I turn three and have to go into the public school system. I am learning alot here. My speech therapist is great. I still see my occupational therapist at home.
UPDATE 1-1-2001
I now attend Ashland City Primary Preschool. I am in the Pre K3 class. I have new speech and occupational therapists now. I really enjoy going to school. I love to play with my friends and Momma continues to teach me lots. I kind of like a girl in my class and she likes me back. Momma wishes she could home school me or get me into a private school. So far our experience with the local public school system has not been a good one.
