Had a wonderful phone conference with the school and Will's doctors in Nashville. Was told they wished they could send every child with Will's language disorder to their school. They had a great conversation on how best to help Will function in the school environment. One part of this phone conversation that was hard to hear was the doctor telling the school that Will will not be making great progress this year or even the next and that they wanted the school to understand that it will be 3rd grade before huge gains are made. I sat in that meeting and did the math......that's 4 years from now. He is 5 now so almost another of his lifetime to get him caught up with his peers. That was a bit hard to hear, but then I realized the end was out there and the first 5 years passed by so quick already.
Christmas was great this year. The idea of Santa Claus started to sink in and the opening of presents was breezed through wrapping paper flying.
