night and day

We had our first day of "I don't want to go to school today, the work is hard." Seriously, we heard that every day last year. Now let me say, I'm sure it is challenging for him at times. But I know too that we have some supports in place for him to not feel so overwhelmed. He has complained that when he asks Mrs. M for help, she says "Dahling, I know you can do this." (That statement said with a welsh accent, love it.) We snuggled for a while and then got up and went about our normal morning routine. He journaled and was drawing a picture of a 13 legged green monster when I left.

Karen (his teacher) stopped me to say that he is a changed child this year. Of course, I have been feeling this way myself, but I wanted to hear it from someone who deals with him in his school environment. She said he plays with many different people and is very social. My heart sings with this info. Sometimes it is the little things in life that can make you feel like dancing.
