My kids are amazing! I say it a lot, I know, but they are freaking awesome. I wish I could have videotaped this morning just to show you all what I mean.
Yesterday, I had Monster's 504 plan meeting. (Click here for a quick explanation of what the 504 is versus an IEP) It was stressful for me, I feel like I added far more into it than they had expected, but everything I added was important to keeping the Monster safe (life-threatening allergies & severe asthma).
The big kids know that Monster starts school this coming week.
Princess started it all when her & I were cleaning up the kitchen.
Her: Mom, are you taking some of Monster's milk to his school for him?
Me: No, they won't need it.
Her: Well, are they going to be sure he has something else to drink?
Me: Yes, they will have juice or water.
Her: No juices with Red Dye!! Right?!?!
Me: Yes, Sissy, only 100% juices.
Her: So you told them all about his allergies, right? Like, what he can & can't have & what he can't touch & that it's not safe for the other kids in his class to have that stuff too??
Me: Yes, Sis, He's all taken care of.
Then later it was "Nay-nen", my oldest who is 9. Almost the exact same conversation.
I'm so proud of my big kids, who look out for their little brother all of the time. They are amazing children & I'm happy to say they are mine!

As summer ends...
Why must it end?? I mean really, what is the necessity in it? I love the time with my children & I am not at all excited about sending them away to school again this year.
Especially not the Monster. This whole summer has been one rolling snowball of stress over what to do for preschool this fall. A non-stop, still rolling snowball that is so big at this point it can take out any city in it's path.
I have made myself sick with worry about this decision thru the summer. I am not at all ready for this, not because of my baby growing up, I can handle that, but because I am terrified of my highly allergic child's throat swelling shut & me not being with him.
I had several things I wanted to address with this post, but honestly, I'm already crying and my head hurts from thinking about the things that can easily go wrong so I am just asking, begging, for your prayers that this next week goes smoothly.
504 plan to be done on Wednesday & PreK orientation on Friday. First day Monday.
Pray for us. For Monster to be safe. For my fears to be put to rest. For the staff around him to be thinking with clear minds if something were to happen. Just lots of prayers please.
