Computers UGH
A friend of mines son came over to help out with my computer. Sadly it's acting up again, so I'm not able to do much that's why I haven't been posting or doing videos and pictures :-(
Things are still hard for me, with Corb and school. Tomorrow I'm putting him on the bus, meeting him at school, staying with him for a bit, coming home and then I will go back to school and help get him back on the bus and meet him at home. I'm going to do that on Wed too. And try real hard not to go Thur at all. We will see.

First step
It's 12:30pm and I'm home without Corb. I'm trying, really I am.
I keep tearing up but he really likes it so that makes it a bit easier.
I'm SOOOOOOOOO proud of him. He had gym today and had a great time. They played duck duck goose and when he was the goose the gym teacher ran him around trying to catch his friend. He was smiling the whole time and not scared. He did give the yuck face when he had to touch his friends tho LOL He has a very hard time with sensory issues.
Man do I love him.

Writing things down
I have two pages full of notes just from today lol.
Please no one worry about being blunt or anything else because you can't tell me more then I have told myself, it's just really hard when it's a kiddo like Corb. Mom's of "normal" kids have a hard time letting go, imagine a mom that's child died in her arms and then haven't left his side since.
Everyone says you deserve time for yourself, really honestly that's not what I want for myself, never have but I know Corb needs to be in school. I would totally be his aide if the law would allow it. Not for one moment have I ever felt too burnt out to want someone else to take care of him. I would spend every moment of every day with him forever.
I'm trying really I am.
As for the IEP. The goals they have for him are set WAY to high. So I have requested that all the therapists do full evaluations instead of using the medical based evaluation reports from a therapy center that hasn't even been able to work with him ever. The PT is doing hers on Tue sometime. And a new IEP meeting is going to be in about two weeks so everyone can gather ideas, including ME!!!
I will not let them jerk me around but I also have to work on trusting them, I said I'm trying lol
I love him so much.

School update
The principal, the special ed teacher and myself had a meeting today. I do feel a lot better about things but there still are some things I need to share with them about Corb before I will leave him in their care all alone and although I don't think they don't have training, they don't know Corb and his needs and feelings. I will not back down from them learning him partially through me first. Of course they will have to learn lots of things about him without me but some things are just to important for them to have to guess. He has feelings that no one else knows until I tell them.
I love my baby bear with all my heart, I don't ever want him to be scared.
Example= One thing that I have always worried about happening, happened today. While the teacher and aides were getting the other kids into the other room, Corb sat in his room all alone (except me) for about 10 - 15 mins. He would have been crying by the time they came back for him because he even started to whine with me right there.
I'm trying I really am.
Love love LOVE the PT. She's so sweat and totally understands my feelings about getting to know him through me. I'm not saying the others aren't too but she's just got this great personality. She did make Corb cry his first day though LOL she stood up from a computer chair and it popped up and scared Corb BADLY, he cried and cried.

1st day of school
Today's the day!
I've only cried a little this week (ok well a lot). I know this is whats best for him but I have never been away from him EVER. I'm staying with him for the first couple of weeks and I'm going to volunteer as much as I can but this is still such a HUGE step.
The year before when he was in preschool I was taking pictures and video of him at school and I got a letter stating I had to remove everything from on-line so I will see what I can and can not video. I will be very disappointed if they won't let me video at all. As you all know this website is my way of sharing him with the whole world and it has helped me emotionally too so I really hope they will have some way for me to be able to video somethings.
