Courage

Some days I can feel so exasperated I just want to cry, but I know that won't make it all go away.
This morning started like that.

 One of the students had a complete meltdown.

That would actually be an understatement.

So when I went to help with fifth grade yard duty I was not afraid.

Just mad.

...and not afraid.

In the afternoon I found out I would be watching fifth grade after school program.

...I was not afraid. And I had no trouble...except some students complaining about how quiet the class was :)



Fear kinda has a way of being relative to the circumstances you are faced with.


I guess that's one reason to be happy when hard times come.

Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS)

Let me tell you.
PECS cards are beautiful!
The autism specialists came to teach us how to teach Rosa how to use pictures to ask for objects.
She picked it up right away.
Now she asks me for "tickles" and "hug." Friday she asked me to "tie shoe" :)
So proud of her!

Thursday marked the beginning of 10 hour days in Laton.
I get really tired, but I LOVE it!
