Today was one of those mornings. I know it is good for him, I know the social interactions he gets there are good and that the structure is setting him up for kindergarden. So I waved him off and held back a little sniffle.
Yesterday we had his IEP meeting. It went well. We are all fairly much on the same page with the same goals. Staying on top of the school to be consistent with potty training was addressed and I hope that will be something they will take seriously. He has a new teacher next year, so I am hopeful.
I often wonder are IEP meetings set up to be intimidating? I am quite lucky. I am a pretty outspoken, brash Irish woman, at least when it comes to my children. Don't mess or you will see the Irish. That being said, there were I believe 5 members of the school staff there and me. It could be seen as intimidating, I can understand why many people might feel that way. Years ago I would have! That wasn't the case today. I know what works with my son. I am not afraid to say it and not afraid to make suggestions. Still, I can understand how it can be intimidating.
So.... 4 hours 1 minute and counting.
Am I strange not to see this as free time?
