Good Morning! Well yesterday was Masan's first day back at school, and I am happy to report that he loved it. We arrived at the school about 8:45 a.m., went in and met the teacher. I told her little things that she needed to know like how if she sees him pressing his hands up against his face it means they are cramping up. We took his tub of beans and rice, so if they did cramp up he could do his therapy. Then the other students started coming in and saying hello so he looked at me with a few tears in his eyes and shook his head up and down as if to tell me it was okay for me to leave. Masan has an Individual Education Plan and a 504 plan in effect, which means... He only goes 1/2 a day and he is transferred to and from other classes (lunch, art,music) by wheelchair. At 12:45p.m. I was standing outside waiting on his bus to bring him home, as I saw it round the corner my heart sank. I started to question if what I was doing was right, but just then the bus stopped and the doors opened and here came Masan standing there with a grin from ear to ear! He was so excited he told me all about how he made new friends and how his teacher pushed him in the wheelchair so he didn't have to worry about keeping up with the other kids. I knew at that moment that I WAS doing the right thing for him. He even got a "super"sticker for the coloring he did=) All in all it was a really good day!
