I can't believe it has been so long since I've posted an update! I sit here, the night before the first day of school and wonder where the summer went. I do have to admit that when things are good with Ben, I don't post as often. And things have been better than good...they have been GREAT!
Ben's behavior problems have been practically non-existent all summer. I don't know if it is because he is out of school, if the medicine he is now on makes everything less stressful for him or if it is related to a new therapy he is getting called Cranial Sacral; but whatever it is, I'll take it! Usually summer drags on and he gets so bored. This year it flew by and he never seemed bored. He enjoyed walks, laying on a blanket in the yard, running errands with us, going to the pool and doing his therapeutic horseback riding.
Tomorrow morning he starts 1st grade at a new school with an entirely new school team. This was something we wanted because last year was so difficult and upsetting for him. Fresh start, fresh people, fresh building. And so far, I have been very impressed with everyone I have met on his new team. They seem excited to have him and willing to try and make it successful and enjoyable for him. I am anxious to see how he does - especially considering he has never been to school for a whole day before (this year he gets picked up at 8:45 am and gets home at 4:08). Talk about a full day!
I promise to post a first day picture tomorrow.
