School

School starts tomorrow and we have had at least 3 nights with very restless sleep. When I ask, she says she is not nervous, but I know that she is. Maybe she just can't label that feeling. I was full of hope with this new school until I went to registration. I could see that I will need to take a very serious tone with them to get them to listen. Hopefully we will make it through the first couple of weeks without any big issue, and then I can have a meeting with them. I need to plan carefully to have the most impact with the fewest words. I am hoping that I don't need to go get a diagnosis to get someone to listen. I can't believe I have to go through this again. I don't want to give them last years letters because they really don't apply. We haven't consulted with the attachment therapist in a long time. That is actually a good thing. We haven't gone to OT in a year, so that won't help either. So I'm left with me, they never trust the parent. I hope this is different, they seem receptive. The one good thing is that they said they sent home weekly reports on all of the kids. There are 17 children in the class this year. That's a lot for one teacher. There are only 7 girls, I hate that there is an uneven number. Pairing up is so important for girls. An uneven number means one girl will always be left out. Maybe the teacher will pair up with the odd girl, wouldn't that be nice? Let it be special instead of being left out? I guess her solution will show how sensitive and creative she is. I hope I make it through her first day!
