A few days away and I am sat here trying to catch up......so many posts!!!!
Hello to all the newbies....and a big welcome.
Thought I would let you all know that J has slept right through for the past 5 nights......HURRAY....the timer on his light is working....so combined with his new bed canopy and thetimer things are working.
We went away for a few days to a ASD meet up in York....what fun...we went to see "Thomas" at the NRM in York....it was ace to meet all the folks I have been communicating with for the past 6 months through another forum I visit.....
J is going to his new school on Thursday of this week....we are going to discuss his integration back into school life.....if all goes well he will start full time after Easter....HIP HIP HOORAY...It will be his class teachers decission as to whether she will take him then or whether we have to wait until September!!!!!
The plan is that he will do 1 afternoon a week for two weeks, then 2 afternoons for 1 week, then gradually build up to two full days by the end of this term. If he settles in well with the other children then the school will take him full time from Easter......so long as LEA agree funding....fingers crossed.
He is so excited about going back to school....just a tad worried because the class teacher had said that she had read the old school reports and she feels that J may be too bright for special school!!!!!
J can not read, write his name, no concepts of addition, he can not count to 20 without adult support....he is nine in three weeks time!!!!
We just hope that when they formerly asses him they will be able to see how much his old school lied.....they reported that J was working at level 2 for his Maths....this is child who can not add 2+5 and does not understand the concepts of multiplication!!!!!An independent Early Maths Screening assessment showed J as having an understanding of maths at age 4yrs and 1 month, his Literacy was at age 4yrs and 2 months.....yet his old school has said he was coping well within rangeof his key peers???????????
My leg is getting better...slowly....now not injecting....but on warfrin tabs instead....
Had a bit of a horrid experience with lots of negative remarks from my She Dragon Mother....but hey ho I dont need her in my life so have given her the big heave ho....which makes me feel so much better....now dont feel so guilty about finding excuses not to call her....her opinions dont matter.....she thinks we should beat J til he behaves and that SEN is just a poor excuse for crap parenting.......YEAH RIGHT!!!!!
The sun is shining, the birds are singing,J is sleeping...(which means so am I) and I'm feeling so happy and positive.....just watch some B*ard come along and spoil it.....
