kindergarten, the redo!

so with all this new baby stuff going on i'm not sure if i ever posted about what we decided to do with carson and school this year.  at his IEP meeting (extremely long and tedious meeting held every year to discuss the best route in school for our little guy that i just dread but always end up leaving feeling really good about the decisions-ok, that's not what IEP stands for.  it's really individualized education plan, or something like that) last march we we all decided that carson should repeat kindergarten.  it would give him another year to get a little bigger and stronger (he no longer needs his walker at school!  little man is doing it all by himself, go carson!) to be able to kick kindergarten's butt.  our ultimate goal is to get him in to the regular ed classroom for the majority of his work (praying he can stay focused.  he tends to daydream) so that by 1st grade he can go to our regular zoned school.  at least that's what i am specifically praying he'll be able to do.  he was able to stay at the school he went to last year, which i was really happy with.  at his IEP in march i literally started crying listening to all the people there telling me how much they love carson.  seriously, even the custodians know and love him.  this kid grabs the hearts of every person he meets.

so, with that we returned today to meet our new teacher.  it's hard to believe school is starting again.  summer went by way too fast.  i am not nearly as nervous as i was last year for carson to start school.  he was very comfortable walking back in this morning which made me feel so much better.  fingers crossed and prayers said that it'll be great year!  i wonder if there's a book out there for "the night before kindergarten (again)!"
