Proceed with Caution


So I know every parent is nervous and excited about their child starting Kindergarten, and I know I was when Peyton started....it was bitter sweet; she was growing up and moving on to her next step in life.  Today, I got that same feeling about Pax going to his Kindergarten transition meeting today.  I know you're thinking, it's only February?! But with special needs children, it's a process that starts early.

I got to sit down with the principal, school psychologist, special education representative and speech therapist about the road and process to Pax's transition into Kindergarten.  I went there nervous and left the same way, but I know that he has progressed in so many ways within the past couple years and even within the last few months, he has surprised me with accomplishments. I am hoping as it gets closer to that big event, I will feel a little more at ease.  It's the not knowing how he will fit into Kindergarten and if he is, in fact, ready.

I am being a protective and cautious parent, I know what I want for him and that is to blossom like any other child reaching school age and not have to struggle with every day things.  I will be optimistic and open to anything that would benefit him and make his school years, good ones for him. My little baby is growing up and his smile is what I want to see each day when he comes home, knowing that he is happy and right where he is suppose to be :) I will keep you posted!
