Max started the school year off with a Orchestra Concert at the end of September. Then, in October I got to shadow him at school. It's where I spend the day with him going class to class with him. It was pretty cool to be with him and see how he interacts with other students and teachers.
Not much interaction with other students, but he loves his teachers.

Max and Special Olympics
Max had Special Olympics regional swim meets at the beginning of October.
He won a gold medal for freestyle and a silver for relay and he was the last to swim in the relay so he had to bring it home.
Even with the beating sun on us, it was worth it to watch him shine.
I'm so grateful for the Special Olympics Program.
They have made it possible for Max to feel important.

In-between his Regional and State Max got sick with Strep. He fought it so he could attend the State competition and opening ceremonies for Winter Olympics.
The hotel we stayed at put this sign up for the athletes.

I'm so grateful that Max was able to be apart of this swimming event. I loved watching him interact with his friends.
Max said, "Mom I now have a Gold and Silver Medal, now I need to get a bronze, so I can have a complete set of medals."
