back to school

We made it through the first week back at school. Hallelujah!  Growing up back to school was always exciting and fun and all kinds of wonderful.  Having my little ASD angel back to school has a whole new meaning and flood of emotions.  As momma I have all kinds of anxiety about having him in the care of someone new, someone I don't know well.  I have a hard time letting our angel go to school because I cannot be there and I don't know what is happening.  The little tidbits I can get out of him after school I can only try to piece together and rarely get much of anything, and that can be scary.  It is a whole new routine and new people, which can be tough for him to adjust to. However, I know that it is what is best for him and for us.  He needs to learn and he needs to be around other people. I can't keep him in a bubble, that wouldn't be good for any of us.  He does have a good teacher and the staff at the school is excellent.  I am planning on being a parent volunteer so I can have a better idea how the day really goes for him.  I am grateful for the dedicated teachers who are so understanding and work hard to teach all of their students.  We survived the first week, hopefully we will have a great year.
