YAY GRACE! WOOHOO!

JZ, I skipped acouple hundred posts to recommend Sonoma Syrup Co. No. 8 Pomegranate Natural Grenadine for all your HFCS-free grenadine needs. I'm afraid I can't remember where I got it, but surely it is available somewhere in SF.
Back to reading through this afternoon's conversations....

I just read 700 posts of the Zoe thing. Oh man. I was supremely pissed at being called Orwellian.
Oh, Noah, this is going to be an adjustment for you, little man.
No kidding! And he has a whole bunch of adjustments coming (leaving his daycare, going to preschool). He knows Grace is coming home for good and he talks about it, but he has No Idea.
Grace will go to preschool, a special ed classroom. Her IEP has to happen in the next month or so, and the district is going to hate me because I'm already practicing saying, "Let's take this to Due Process then." and "To meet the goals you have specified, you need to provide more services, otherwise, 30 minutes a week of OT will not work."
That thing is a fucking nightmare and he may never get it back.
Ugh. That battle sounds like such a nightmare. I'm so sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
leaving his daycare, going to preschool
My god, I can't believe he's that big!
What does IEP stand for?
Ugh, my primary headache meds ran out. No more for at least a week. Maybe two.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Oh, wonderful news about Grace!

Because books.
Oh, ita. Ugh.
And, not Kat, but I believe it's Individual Education Plan (Program?).

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Cause, Grace? Coming home this May!
YAY

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
msbelle, I (of course) defer to your judgment on this, but do you think mac uses the DS to self medicate? Like it's a way to distract him the way some people use cat-stacking or computer solitaire?
I do recognize that it's causing a shit-load of problems, though.
Super excited about Grace coming home.
I think Noah will deal. It's an adjustment but young kids have to make those adjustments all the time, like when they change caregivers or move up to nursery school, kindergarten, 1st grade etc.
They're pretty flexible at that age.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I think he does some, but it is NOT a calming force. It is the only thing he lies to me about, the main thing that has caused fights at the two afterschools.
