I think all of us are feeling a little anxiety about school starting back up. S is suffering from is "normal" anxiety but I think once he gets back and is reminded that now he gets to talk to his friends, he'll be feeling good about his return. I had talked with his new teacher on the phone and met her in person at the Open House last week and she seems not only nice but also committed to helping S be successful. She had consulted with his third grade teacher to find out some of the strategies that helped him last year and she had already set them up :) This teacher was handpicked by last year's teacher and the rest of his IEP team so I am thinking we will have a good year. He's not convinced, though!
B is very excited but I am a bundle of nerves. Change is always hard for him and while I am hoping things go well, I am expecting some rough days (or weeks. maybe months). He and I went to his Open House together and he liked the teacher and aide and classroom but there were no other kids present when we were there and sometimes that really changes things for him. Fingers crossed that the other students in his class are ones he will immediately declare his friends and want to hang out with every day :p
Izzy is so excited about the upcoming school year and she will NOT believe me that she isn't going to school. She's still on the wait list and the Early Intervention playgroup she might be attending won't start for at least another month. We need a salary raise so we can get a membership to the Y again so she can take a class or something :p I need to check out the local library and see if they have any programs running for her age group!
