Oh, that picture takes my breath away. What a tiny, beautiful little elf of a girl.

My son will start kindergarten this fall and I’m in a state of complete denial (well, as much as you can be after all those meetings spelling out exactly what to expect). One thing I do feel very fortunate about is that the principal and both main front office people have children with special needs and so they *get* it. I feel about as comfortable as I can imagine feeling sending my boy anyway every single day without me.

However, I do plan to get involved ASAP and volunteer in his classroom. Nothing like keeping your own eyes on things, as unobtrusively as possible. Love that you made that happen in the way you could.

I can feel your anxiety through your words, it must have been a tough year for you, and I imagine it still is tough in different ways for you even today.

Sophie is ADORABLE in that picture, what a little cutie pie!!!

This is so damn hard sometimes. I’m thrilled Sophie flourished – I’m confident Abby will too. But I can’t believe you had to hire babysitters & a lawyer, or that Cate had to hire an advocate. I cannot believe that 100:1 ratio – I wouldn’t want my (typical) son in that lunchroom. Blech. I have nothing else – too bad it’s too early for one of those cocktails.
