I got a wonderful surprise at lunch today: a visit from a former student & his family! It was so great! He was by far one of my favs from last year, just the cutest, sweetest little guy. He was also a complete enigma. His family and the team at school had been trying to find a diagnosis for him since he began the program at 2 1/2 yrs old, he's in Kindergarten now. We never did get a diagnosis by the time he headed off to Kindergarten last year, so we were all really worried about him. It was amazing to hear how well he's doing now! His mom said he's been asking about myself & my EAs from last year all the time. He begged her to bring him for a visit to Mrs.R's room! *melt*It means so much to all of us at the school to get any kind of update once our kids leave the program. We always wonder & worry about how they're doing after we send them out into the "real" world of "big kid" school.
Man, I needed that today!

He was telling me how old he is now & we had the following hilarious convo.
J: I'm 6 now. How old are you Mrs.R?
Me: I'm a lot older than that, J.
J: You 67?
Me: Ummm, no. Not quite.
J: You 99?
Me: *laughing*
J: You 101?
Me: No, J, I'm not 101. I think I'd be in the hospital if I were 101!
J: Nooo! You 14?
Me: I like that one best. Let's go with that one!
