awwwwww! and to answer your question about how long? In our case, 3yrs and almost exactly 2mo, not that she was crying the whole time, but, hindsight is 20/20 and so many things are clear now...

I think getting the cirriculm to prepare is a great idea! I don't know WHY the teacher wouldn't do that...and you should get that written into the IEP

I get excited when the library lets me know my books are ready for pickup...
