we got the extended year! woot! 
OT 1x a week for 8 weeks, starting when their summer school program starts. (june 20 something.) so she will still have some break times, but not the full span of 3 months.
also, it is awesome to see others who near bout cry talking about how much progress DD has made in this small amount of time. Today was the fathers day brunch at headstart. when I got there I got to see DD painting on the easel, standing right next to a photo from the beganning of this year of her painting there... in the photo she is holding her brush in a fist grip. Today she was holding it right! Where is the happy tears smiley?
Then her teacher mentioned how today, DD and I got to the school early for OT, so we went to the playground and the AM 4k class was headed out too. For the first time today her teacher watched DD walk outside to play hand in hand with another kid.
Sure it only lasted about 30 sec, but for my kid, that is HUGE. 
and talking life skills, I got to share the news that for the first time in her life, yesterday DD wiped herself after going #2. 
I mean, I wouldn't have even known if she hadn't forgotten to flush! Who cares about that really?
She wiped!!!
I could go on about these emerging skills, but seriously, it was such a great feeling hearing and sharing these 'little things' that we all are seeing in DD since she started OT. Not even a full two months later, and we are seeing such strides!
I posted this in my ptr, but knew i had to share it with yall as well.
