"Today was a breakthrough day"
So, I just have to brag a little on my oldest, Bee. His teacher and aides have been reporting back to me that he's been having such great days at school the past two weeks. It's been such a treat, because last school year was a very difficult one - lots of tears (for both me and Bee), lots of frustration, and Bee feeling overwhelmed (mainly because of the speech/language delay). We have worked so hard with all of Bee's different therapists - OT, ST, behavior therapy, and now music therapy - and his teachers and aides, trying to help him become more engaged in our world. We were seeing little signs here and there, small steps forward, but constant progress. But since he has started school again, it's like a light has been turned on. Anyway, his teacher went on to tell me that he is participating in all activities, reading along with the books, singing songs, and even socializing with his peers! Today, he even was sitting with one of the other kids in the class, and they were playing and laughing together (!!!) - this is HUGE! I had this big, goofy grin on my face, and his teacher and aides did, too. We were all just so proud of him. His teacher then said, "I think today was a breakthrough day!" I am just so excited for Bee and for everyone who has been working with him all these months, and I look forward to building off of this remarkable progress. All these months of driving hither and yon are paying off! (smile)
