Saw-Man

Gene Simmons????

So, I was not sure about Sawyer and school this year. With the negative vibes we were getting from potential teachers and the run around we got from the school system, I was just not sure I wanted to send Sawyer to school. Then yesterday, I got a call from the school telling me Sawyer had been bit by a fellow student. Apparently, he was quite traumatized by the whole event. (Sadly, this is not his first biting incident but the first for this school) What perfect timing, I had already planned on going to the school for the Meet and Greet they had scheduled.

I got there and everyone was concerned about Sawyer. Was he okay. I am so sorry that happened. The other child should not have done that. Blah blah blah. I felt better that this was an accident and they were not going to let it happen again. (Let's hope)

Then they started going on about how wonderful and cute Sawyer is. How much they love having him. How capable he is. They were gushing. Gushing, I tell you. And the whole bathroom issue that was the deal breaker with the other teacher, was a non-issue with this teacher. They've built him a step to help him get up to the toilet and he can do everything by himself. In fact, the teacher was flabbergasted that it was even an issue with the first teacher. (Yeah...welcome to my world)

So as Ansley would say it: "I KNEW IT. I KNEW IT" I knew if anyone would give him a chance, he'd win them over. He is just that kind of kid. The kind you fall in love with. You just can't help it. (Not that you would want to but still) I just wish this was the last of that kind of battle we will have to fight.

Alas, I fear it is just the beginning. I fear he will be proving himself over and over. Found out they keep moving the Special Ed programs around from school to school. This is the 3rd school he has been in since he started public school. Next year, it is likely he'll have to go to another school and prove himself once more. We will cross that bridge when we come to it.

I think at this point in time, he's where he needs to be. I'm good with that.
