Today is the day, dd's school is going to review her trial skip period and decide want to do for the rest of this year and next. It should be a no brainer, but it seems like these meetings and doubts are never going to end. I see a happy kid, making friends, welcomed and accepted by her new class(this is new), making eye contact with teachers and peers (this is also new), producing more written output than ever before, with suddenly legible handwriting, doing more work on projects than is asked of her, and sleeping soundly at night. She does forget to bring homework home sometimes, so it is sometimes late. She is still catching up on cursive and typing with the older kids. Since she wasn't doing either in December, I don't see why its a big deal as long as she is showing lots of improvement. We haven't been invited to this meeting and I'm feeling very pregnant and worried about everything. I cannot wait until today is over.
