He is already taking a class at the school he will attend to help him to adjust to pre-school settings. I think this has helped me to adjust to the idea I won't be there to protect him. He already had a fight and he had a huge bite mark behind his ear and I am think he may initiate the fight. I also saw a little kid pushing him, but it was because Tommy was trying to take the shopping cart toy the kid was playing with. I told Tommy he was to be nice and share! But I have also seen how kind the kids are with him and how they try to include Tommy in the activities, even they don't understand what Down syndrome is, because for them he is another little kid. So I have realized all these experiences are part of growing up regardless his diagnosis and that is what I want for him. Maya will do great! It will take time for you and her to adjust, but at the end, Maya is beginning to walk on her own path and creating her own story that will help her later in life. I do the same, I don't think in the future I care more about the present because the present builds the future. I send you a lot hugs! Everything will be find.Rosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02563282224117081649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6092765179425248714.post-74674844090085642232011-02-07T22:11:01.152-07:002011-02-07T22:11:01.152-07:00Thanks for all this!

I love that you are frank about everything and tell it like it is. =) oxoxevrfwdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15827600561105558115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6092765179425248714.post-19513262568151839632011-02-04T21:53:55.450-07:002011-02-04T21:53:55.450-07:00I had SO MANY of these same thoughts about it all ...I had SO MANY of these same thoughts about it all when Matthew started. It seems like yesterday and it seems like such a long time ago already at the same time - LOL!<br />It's hard, so hard to let them go to those first days of school! It's good - it really truely is! And it's hard - it really truely is!!!!! They are just soooo little. We had the same communication worries that you do, but it was all ok in the end. The teachers will learn to figure out what she means and she will learn to communicate better too.<br />And a little secret - it doesn't always go away - that urge to make sure all will be ok. It still rears it's head with me. But it does ebb and flow.<br />Anyway - volunteer as much as the teacher will let you, so you can see her in her new environment as much as you can. :) (((hugs)))) Jo Ann!!!!!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07731536343282993011noreply@blogger.com
