Tomorrow Jared starts his week of testing at the school. I'm not really worried about these tests. I was concerned last year, as he needed to do well to move forward to Kindergarten. He didn't do well... and I held him back to repeat the current year. I didn't know he had APD and I really struggled with that decision. Ray was in Iraq and it was horrible to meet with the teacher and complete that paperwork. I felt like I had failed, or something. I felt like the Army had failed us, as Ray had been deployed more than 1/2 of Jared's life and I was looking for someone or something to blame. Little did I know that my precious boy had auditory processing disorder.
This time, I know he's going to Kindergarten next year and it doesn't matter what the tests say, because I have to home school him for the next 5 months (at least) anyway. He'll also be tutored this summer and we hope to have him more than prepared for Kindergarten. Nevertheless, I'm sure he's not looking forward to another week of testing.
The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice. Psalm 97:1 (NIV)
