I know, I know...I hear it all the time. I am going to miss these days. Am I failure as a mother if I can honestly say there is a lot about this time I am not going to miss?
I'm just in the middle of a pity party.
The Mayor, while still kicking butt and exceeding how he did last year in preschool, has had some "off" days the past 3 school days. And it. is. so. frustrating.
Every one step forward...two steps back.
But I'm trying to see the positive. His teacher and I have been emailing back and forth this evening and she is such a Godsend. Really. She was so sweet and encouraging. Which definitely makes me feel better. But at the end of the day, I just want what is best for both of my kids. And I know, it is unrealistic, but I just don't want them to struggle and hurt. I know struggling and hurting is all part of growing up...but I just want some of the struggle to dwindle away right now.
Sensory Processing Disorder is such a beast and right now it is kicking my butt.
It is kind of ironic that a kid nicknamed The Mayor because he is so social struggles the most in social skills. His OT recommended a social skills group (an 8-week course) that teaches kids his age how to socialize, play and interact with a larger group of kids. I think this is just what we need.
Ok, pity party over...on a much lighter note...how cute are these?? I love to be crafty and I made all of these, including those canisters, this week. I love this time of year!
