Concrete Slide

I learned about this slide in A small free paper that gets delivered to my door. They are made of concrete and go down the side of a hill. We took a piece of cardboard with us to ride on and down we went. You go faster if you have wax paper under  you as the cardboard gets worn down quickly but it is still fun. I think Surfboard wax would work awesome! Ryan went down the first couple times with our neighbor and friend Catherine, and then wanted to go alone. He had so much fun! He called it his skateboard racing machine. JJ on the other hand, when a couple times with me and then got scared and wouldn't go down at all. We are looking forward to going back with some wax paper and perhaps some plastic tote lids. 

We are doing well. Ryan has been in school now for about a month. He seems to like it, and has been coming home singing songs. He is getting speech therapy twice a week and the therapist says he is doing well. The teacher says he is doing great with transitions and is following directions great. He also is using the potty consistently at school, if only I could get him to do that at home. The past couple days he has been talking a lot. Haven't figured out quite why but I am starting a dietary journal to try to see if it is diet related. We have a intake appointment with Alta Regional on the first and Kaiser received my paperwork but said they wont be able get Ryan tested until FEB! :( Very frustrating but at least he is getting some services through the school and he is improving.
