Today has been a unicorn day and I'm writing this post to remind myself that days like this DO exist, especially when we have a hard day. I picked Lauren up for a dentist appointment, which she was less than thrilled (and even less cooperative) for. I picked her up from school before lunch, so we got McDonalds as a treat on our way home (no cavities!). Then she played in her backyard blow up pool. Then we went for a bike ride around the block and she rode almost the entire time by herself! Then we played with sidewalk chalk together. We played rock paper scissors. She went to bed with a fairly average amount of arguing, nothing much to write home about.
It was a GREAT day.
I had her IEP this morning and that went great too. Lauren started the year reading at a DRA level 6 and is finishing up at level 14. That is really great progress. There's summer programming the district is offering and it appeared as though special education students like Lauren weren't invited to attend. So I wrote an email (kind, but not happy) asking about it and ended up getting a call today from Lauren's program director saying she can sign up for whatever I want to sign her up for and they'll make sure she's accommodated and the work is modified!
I'm feeling incredibly blessed. Lauren was officially invited onto the children's waiver program so hopefully within the next couple of months we'll have medicaid in place and can start thinking of respite/CLS hours.
It just feels like we've had so many blessings!
