Now we've switched to a new school, we have an IEP, we have an EA and now we are getting OT and possibly PT at school as well. We are still doing ABA both funded and private and we are making progress again. It amazes me how strong my little girl is. Switching schools can be traumatic for any kid, but Tiger has coped far better than I dared to dream.
I'll be honest I didn't expect this to go so well. Sure her sleep was messed up for a few weeks before and after the switch, but she did sleep. Sure we had some meltdowns, but not as many or as severe as I had feared. Now who do I credit with this smooth transition?
Why me of course. Just kidding... no not really kidding. I'm an awesome mama eh. I'm a badass when it comes to my kid . I put a lot of hard work into this transition. There were dozen of calls and meetings going on, actually they are still happening but you want to know how I know I've done a good job?
Tiger is gaining weight.
She is on track to break 40 lbs this year, & that is just huge folks.
Honk sniff*
Ok so it's not all me, I have to say this new board, principal, teacher, EA , bus driver and aide have all done there absolute best to make this transition as easy for Tiger as possible. They've also spent hours on calls and meetings and visits, assessments etc. I was very hesitant to trust the public system again after how badly our first foray went, but this is going OK. and I'm even considering starting a new adventure of my own, just weighing my options right now.
So I'm in happy mode today and wanted to share, have a great day, I'm going to go bake a non stress cake.
The High Functioning Life, where we can physically weigh our success! 39.6 pounds worth to be exact.
HFL Mama
Update: at the end of January 2017 we are now officially 40.6 lbs!
Do a little dance, bake another batch, get on the scale woo!
