Z is going to Second Grade! Little E is going to be a First grader! These boys are doing so well, I couldn't be prouder.
Yes, Z still struggles but he's doing fantastic!
Yesterday he insisted on reading to me the card attached to his gift given to him in class, I was so tickled to hear him.
But with all this goodness I am already stressing with next year.
He gets over stimulated for the first 2 weeks or so when school starts.
Will he get yelled at?
Will a cafeteria worker insult him again?
Will someone who has no idea whats wrong or going on in his head get in his face?
Will they label him trouble?
YES, this is what I go through every new school year, even every summer.
I know the outcome will be okay but I still am such a worrier..such a mommy.
I guess I will have to be up there for 2 weeks in the beginning huh?
Am I crazy for wanting to do that?
Nah just a mom who wants to keep her baby's spirit intact.
Which brings me to this.
I can tell when Z is just being spoiled or honestly having a hard time.
Nick and I learned to read him quite well from age 3.
If he's being a toot, he gets punished like any other child.
If we see he's overstimulated, we jump in and redirect his behaviour, try to help him.
We don't let him just do what he wants because of a diagnosis, if we did that we'd have a hot mess in our hands...don't you agree?
