Busy times...

The last few weeks have been so full on and so busy it feels like we are racing ahead in 2014. Driving home today it occurred to me that next month Miss L turns 3. 3 people!! I still say she is only 2.5. After school our kindy teacher was admiring Miss L's outfit and I said well next year she will be with you. She literally turned looked at me and her jaw dropped. I was pregnant with L when J was in her class so she has seen her grow up. I guess looking at her today even an experienced teacher starts to think no way is she ready for school.

This is one of the reasons I have been pushing for so many follow ups and referrals lately. Can I send L to school barely verbal, in a nappy and drinking milk from a bottle? I know her therapists are saying mainstream is the best option for her but would the teacher and the school cope? Especially as they struggled with Miss A's needs....

For me this school term has been spent focusing on problems and looking for answers. First with Miss A struggling with school then with Miss L going through a 6 week regression. In the middle of course is Mr J and making sure he isn't forgotten about or unsettled by all the stress at home. Over the next 2 weeks we are looking at 6 appointments for Miss L, a teacher strike (so no school that day), a parent/teacher interview and the end of term. Hopefully that will mean time to relax?

In the meantime I'm trying to write things down on what I need to do daily so I don't get caught up. It's so easy focusing on whats ahead that I forget that Miss A has news today and Mr J starts football soon and needs new boots....I was hoping at the beginning of this year that things would settle down but instead we seem to be getting busier, if it leads to answers though I'm all for that!
