their loss

so, we got our letter from buford. if you remember a few weeks ago i told you about our interview with a school system near by. well, we didn't get in. boo. i say it's their loss. i really didn't have that feeling that we would get in. we had a few inside people and we were told that the program that we want carson to start school with (sdd kindergarten-which is for children who are developmentally delayed) was already full with kids who live within the city limits. at our interview the principal told us she was concerned about the number of kids already slotted for that class. carson's assessment was high enough for a regular ed classroom but because of the physical assistance he still needs we want him in the sdd class. so, if we want we can try again next year. we'll see. i spent 2 1/2 hours with carson's assessment team the other week mapping out his plan for kindergarten and i feel good about it. he will be in the smaller class setting with more help in the beginning but already going into a regular ed classroom an hour a day and that will just increase as we/they see that he can handle it. the most important thing for me is that he feels successful in school from the beginning and putting him in a regular classroom scares me. i want him to feel good about school and i'm hoping and praying that the plan we have in place for him is it! i wouldn't mind a few prayers from everyone else too :) this kid (and his brothers!!) mean the world to me and i want nothing but the best for them and i will do anything and everything to give it to them. it's so hard putting them in someone else's hands but i have to have faith and know that he will be just fine. this parenting stuff only gets harder as my guys get older but is sure worth every second.

with my first-born love at his easter egg hunt. how could anyone not love this sweet soul?
