Endings, Beginnings and Recollections

My son's final days of elementary school are here.  Homework is dwindling (THANK YOU), fun end of the year activities have started and somehow - I've found myself nominated as PTA secretary for the next two years.  This Friday, I have a meeting regarding his IEP and transition to middle school.

What a long, rewarding and sometimes frustrating journey these past seven years have been.  He began early intervention, just a month shy of his 4th birthday and only about 8 months after his diagnosis of Autism/PDD-NOS.  I can still recall this wee little boy, in his favorite baseball cap, climbing the steps up into the bus.
