I haven't been able to bring myself to blog since my last post in May. We've been thrown one curve ball after another this summer, and haven't yet begun to feel any relief. Emphasis on the word 'yet'. It's coming, it's just around the corner, we just have to keep working hard to get where we need to be.
In the meantime, D has started first grade at his new school, and is doing much better (socially/behaviorally) than I could've hoped. That's not to say that I haven't received a phone call (or two) from his teacher. That's not to say that D hasn't come home with a note in his backpack letting me know he "had a hard time compromising during partner reading", or that his art teacher had a tough day with him last Wednesday. But these are small fish to fry compared to what I was expecting. To my pure and utter joy, he has been waking up early every morning without complaint, and getting off the school bus every afternoon with a huge smile on his face. I keep waiting for the tears to start, like they did when he attended preschool, and like they did when I'd ask him to do his deskwork while homeschooling him last year. I'm sure there will be tears, but I am grateful for this positive start to the school year.
