Graduation Day!

Today marked Nolan's last day of ABA therapy!  We have absolutely loved the CEIA (Center for the Early Intervention of Autism) program and the therapists who have worked with him daily for the last 15 months.  His mornings will now consist of rough-housing with his brother before preschool--they are sure to both love it!

The CEIA gals had the most precious graduation "ceremony" for Nolan today.  He was so excited to wear a real cap and gown (even though he said it was his Superman cape.)  They also gave him a bag full of wonderful books, stickers, an adorably sweet Cookie Monster t-shirt that he was thrilled about, a special Toy Story balloon and cupcakes for him and the five other kiddoes who are in his session.  They also presented him with a certificate of achievement and a memory book of some of his most special projects and photos of him with all his therapists.  I was so overwhelmed with how much of an answer to prayer the CEIA staff has been for our family that I couldn't stop the tears from flowing!

After the ceremony I took him to McDonald's for a special treat.  There's nothing like McNuggets, french fries and ice cream to top off a perfect celebration!  Way to go, Nolan!  We are so proud of you!
