Maizie's First Day at the Autism Center
Wahoo! Can you see the excitement in Maizie's face? Today was her first day at the Autism Center. The first day was short. She decorated her cubicle with a few Jonas Brothers posters, arranged her books and played some games with a few new friends.
I took the ol' first day of school photo. Maizie cooperated for the first shot and then began chasing me. Notice the large back pack she picked out. She filled it with her lunch box, a Webkinz and a some knick knacks from her room. I am happy to say that Maizie was told to bring anything that would help her feel comfortable. 
I love this shot because you can see how ecstatic she is. School today did not begin until three thirty so she was antsy all day. Finally, I took her shopping for new school clothes. A great way to pass the time.
Her normal hours will begin around noon. Wonderful! This gives her plenty of time for her morning rest. If she has a CVS episode we won't end up missing school since they typically occur in the morning. 
To celebrate the first day we went out to dinner at Maizie's favorite Chinese restaurant. Once home she spent some time with the guinea pigs Salem and Zebra. 
Yes...those are cute lil' gingham dresses the guinea pigs are wearing. We purchased them for Louie's (Chloe's guinea pig) Birthday Party! Chloe & Susie are planning a kicking party. Zebra and Salem want to look their best.

The Autism Center seems to be agreeing with Maizie already...I am so happy to hear that it went well.
Now about the piggies...are we absolutely nuts to be buying clothes for them or what!? Can't wait to see all three of them dressed up together on Saturday~
I can't wait to hear more! She looks so happy. And you must be so relieved.
Yeah! I am so excited for you guys. I like how The Autism Center encourages Maizie to bring in her own items to make her feel comfortable. Keep us updated!
Hope all continues to go well with the school. It seems as if they listened and are being very accomodating. That's great news. : ) Loved all the clothes. This post featured quite a fashion show!
I forgot if I commented, so I'll go ahead and say YAY MAIZIE!!! Keep us posted! And those piggies are too cute!

The dress wearing guinea pigs with their lettuce on Maizie's lap are a hoot.
Maizie looks so happy to be headed off to school. Great photos!
It's great when kids are excited about school! That's the way it should be for all kids.
Good for Maizie.
