Another IEP

I am soo happy today's IEP (individual education plan) went well today. School in the past has been an uphill battle in high heels. However, my son will not like what we have decieded for him. To resolve the tardy issue, we have incorporated that not only will he have consequences at school, but after so many tardies he will also have an extra day added on to his treatment program. He has Mon-Thursday, but now when he is tardy so many times he will also have to attend Friday.

I love my son, but he can be such a little old man in the morning. Since he knew I was having his IEP meeting this morning he was very cranky, wouldn't get up, he tried to tell me he was too depressed to go to school. So when I told him if that was the case then maybe he needed extra therapy time with group, he sat up, flipped me off and got dressed to face his whole new day.

I didn't let it bother me, I just told him thanks for letting me know I am number one today and laughed. You have to keep your humor. So I will see how he takes the news when he gets home tonight from his treatment program. Hopefully I can continue to keep my humor.
