Ben's transition into school has been difficult for him (and myself), but he definitely made progress from the first day to the second. The structure and rules are new and challenging for him and I'm confident he will get use to them in time. His teacher and aids are wonderful and very responsive to all my concerns and suggestions. I was by his side the entire first day and observed the second day. Tuesday will be the first day I won't be there - I'm stressing a little! It is so hard for me to put all my faith in others. We've just been through so much together and I'm in tune to all his needs like no one else. Ben and I have spent very little time apart these first three years and he has fought so many obstacles to get here. The school transition needs to be done though because it is in Ben's best interest and I just have to keep on reminding myself that. And ultimately I feel comfortable that the nurses going with Ben can handle him in an emergency. Below is a picture from Ben's first day. He transportation around school is this cool wagon. Doesn't he look so grown up!

Yeah Ben! You do look so grown up in your wagon. We still have 3 weeks before school starts for Evan, but Jeremy and I will have a hard time too.
Hugs,
Sarah, Jeremy, and Evan
Way to go Ben and mommy, I know its hard but before you know it, it will be routine and like nothing ever changed.
Good luck,
Crystal and Eva
Wow Ben, what a big boy! I am sure it's hard for your mommy too-I can only imagine. Be strong.
Love,
Brian, Sarah, and Caleb Hlebiczki
