Preschool and volcanos

Just a quickie post to say Owen started preschool last week, the children treat him like a baby "babies aren't allowed in the cubbie", bit heart breaking for me, but I am sure Owen is thinking "well I am NOT a baby!!, so I'm coming in"It is hard watching him adjust he is clearly so out of his depth communication wise, the teachers don't know sign (but are learning as we go ) they have made no accomodation for him, he doesn't have an aid, I don't kow if it's a good or bad thing I don't know what to think at all. He is only there two mornings a week, if he was there full time I would be more concerned but two mornings seems okay and he is definatley settling in, joining in cooking, painting and generally exploring.In other news we had an amazing trip to Vanuatu where Owen was treated with lots of love and good humour by the local people, Randall said "Owen should live in Vanuatu because people treat him so well there". I don't know if Owen is the first person with Ds to stand on the edge of an active volcano ( probably not) but he was AMAZING up there, just excited and happy and very relaxed ! He was also amazing with the local kids playing with them the moment he stepped into their village. It has been such a great experience for us all being in another country, only problem is we have been bitten by the travel bug!
