 We have decided to channel some of Emmet's energy by enrolling him in a Tae Kwon Do class which I think will help him with some of his impulsiveness.
 First Day of school
 Carving pumpkins with Macy and Derek

He is amazing at doing puzzles. This one was sent in a Halloween package from Granda Jeanette and Grandpa Kyle. He finished it in about 15 minutes.

Overall things are going well with Emmett. I have met with his 2nd grade school teacher on several occasions and he is working at mid grade level. The school is very helpful in making sure he gets his medications and trying to keep him on track. He is in a special reading and writing class to help get him up to speed. We have a school district care coordinator that helps us with child counseling and ideas for how to help Emmett at home. We are still working with his medications. I think we are getting closer to figuring out what combination would be best but we are not quite there. He is awesome in the morning and throughout school for that matter but tends to really lose focus and become more irritable as the day goes on. I am working with his doctor to see how we can help him in the evenings to be happier. He has an appointment with the ENT on November 12th to evaluate and treat him for his ear infections and possible hearing loss.

We love having him in our home and we are all so happy with the progress he is making...I update the blog with Halloween pictures after tomorrow!!
