Didn't see the stop sign/ Took a turn for the worse.....  Well, today is a tough one; my AAA child has teachers that aren't observing his 504 (and haven't all year, to my knowledge).  Which, as you know, makes for very frustrating days like this one.  I hate picking up my son and seeing him in tears of frustration.  Good news is that in one week I have the IEP meeting at 9am, and hopefully I shall get my Mama Bear personality out and be ready to fight.   Unfortunately with budgets being what they are, there is shorthanded staff and an unwillingness to allocate more resources to a child who, from outward appearances, seems just fine.  And he is very smart- but the typical teaching style isn't optimal for his performance.  So today was teachers not seeing the stop sign he was showing them, and as a result he took a turn for the worse.  After two hours he's finally calm and doing something he loves (practicing his trombone... no, seriously, he likes doing it!).  But Mama Bear here, after also enforcing a no-screens rule after school because of an undone report-- well, I could use a little time to do something I love.  Cookie baking it is-- and maybe a glass of vino to go with it. :)
