The Day Time Stood Still

October 12, 2009

On Friday we met with the school again, to get the results of their assessment. And to say it was disappointing would be an understatement. To say I freaked out would also be an understatement. I think the school is a bad fit, which is also an understatement. They think he has a variety of [...]

Michael's preschool assessment is today. The one I fought against and then was finally like, you know what, whatever. I have no idea what is going on with this kid and if this might fix it, help, do anything, then fine. But I'm not ALL IN, if you know what I mean. I still think [...]
