Vindicated

Today I had the most AMAZING meeting with the principal at Ian's new school. Without going into too much detail, let's just say she said all of the things I've been thinking for the last year. I finally felt vindicated in regards to my thoughts and feelings on his initial school change and the pending school change. I've really never felt like I've had a voice concerning all that was happening with him. I feel that way no more! I was amazed at her passion for a child she has never met before. I finally felt like I had someone who knew what an amazing child Ian is and I felt like I finally had someone on my side. To say I am excited about next year is an understatement!! And, we are able to start him in June!! That means he will be adjusted to the new school by time school starts in August and we won't lose a few months to transition. The previous plan was to have him go to one school in the summer and switch to this school in August. I am elated that we don't have to do that!! I have such a different outlook on our summer and on our future with Ian in the public school system. I finally feel at peace with the direction we are going.
