Therapy was getting OLD (although now we are back in that stage with my adopted daughter) and Payton's school and teacher are amazing. She has grown so much since starting school in September. I hope Bridget's school is equally amazing. From 30-37 months is when Payton grew the most in her life --- physically, emotionally, cognitively ... everything.Bethanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09481397897364739480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7576310937763715660.post-34488471279678414522009-02-21T11:57:00.000-05:002009-02-21T11:57:00.000-05:00I too had a wonderful transition after the dust se...I too had a wonderful transition after the dust settled. I wished I had known going in that the team at school really was interested in helping L be the very best she can be. They were not interested in hiding services or being combative. I love them all dearly and have found they truly do work wonders! Good luck and if relaxing doesn't work prior to the IEP - drink a glass of wine :) I am KIDDINGLarkinsmomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03776957229785320327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7576310937763715660.post-30802817702496363912009-02-21T23:03:00.000-05:002009-02-21T23:03:00.000-05:00Breathe- she's doing great!

I found it hardest in the beginning to leave her there-ahhh...starrlifehttp://starrlife.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7576310937763715660.post-90549084300191566852009-02-25T19:35:00.000-05:002009-02-25T19:35:00.000-05:00I think the transition to school is waaaay harder ...I think the transition to school is waaaay harder on us parents than it is on our kids! I was terrified last summer, but after only a day or two of crying at school, Samantha settled right in and made herself at home! Good luck with your evaluations, and remember to stand your ground about what you want. Bridget sounds like she's doing amazingly! School will be a wonderful structured environment for her to fine-tune and grow. You'll see! <br><br>Coffee is an important word. If for no other reason than she understands that mommy and daddy can't function without a cup in the morning, and that she is not to expect too much of us until then. :-)Beccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14963099760885760598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7576310937763715660.post-45831238744117025562009-03-14T15:26:00.000-04:002009-03-14T15:26:00.000-04:00I just linked here from Emma Sage's blog.

I love reading about her, you're so right about how special they are, and I know I couldn't live without my little girl either!<br><br>My daughter, Chelsea, just turned there in January and we had to transition her to school. Ahhhh! It was quite an experience. I'm a teacher and thought I could handle it, but it's tougher than I thought it would be. Mainly the IEP. It's blunt. After hearing all the wonderful things she's doing, they actually were quite frank about what she is not doing and what other kids her age ARE doing. Like a daggar to the heart.
