Week Two

We made it through week two of school. The teacher said things are going great. She comes home with many papers done, I don't know how she does it. Could it be that she has made so much progress over the summer that she can sit and do seatwork? I will be so happy if this is true. Just when I am totally bogged down with all of this, there is light at the end of the tunnel. I can't even begin to hope that this is how it will continue to be. Maybe it's that there are only 7 kids in the class and 2 teachers? Maybe the kids are all calm and well behaved? I can't help but think they could be like the other school and tell me everything is great while they do their own thing with her. I know we have made progress, but has it been enough to accomplish this? I am NOT a pessimist, just a realist. Don't you think the teachers are wondering what we were talking about when they don't see it? Do they think we are crazy and overreactive? What about the letters for the OT and AT? I had them write separate letters to back us up so they wouldn't have to take our word for it. What must they be thinking? I will ask for a conference in a week or so. I would say if it continues for a month, they we can consider it the new normal. I AM holding my breath on this one. Oh, how I want it to be okay for her. She really deserves as much. At least the teachers will see what she can do when all of the conditions are right. If they fall in love with the amazing person she is, they will be able to understand her a bit more and be more willing to do what it takes to get that sweet little girl back to where she was. We go back for our re-eval in about 3 weeks. Maybe we will see the end near? I don't know how much longer I can creep and crawl with her. If we can take that component out, I think it will be a lot easier. Once she is in school full time, I don't see how we can spend an hour or 2 a night on NR. As it is, I have totally dropped the ball on big sis and her vision therapy. He wants to see her once a week now, and it's 45 minutes away! Add S's vision therapy ontop of that, and consider that I do this by myself. My husband is finally home after being gone since school started. At least he helps with the driving which is huge considering how much time I spend in the car. Enough whining for one post, I should be rejoicing that things are going well. I am exhausted, TGIF!!!
