We have been hitting some bumps on the road to public school, but at home we are making great strides.  Lots of excitement here this week.  Coco has had open communication of the letter board with both Dad and Lilly this week.  Huge accomplishment!  

Coco told me this poem is about home.  I love that she feels this way about home.  It’s hard to keep this place a haven – to keep the stress of our battle for inclusion outside of this place.  It creeps in.  It’s hard not to get discouraged and feel defeated in the face of Coco’s challenges.  Thank God that Coco is ever the optimist.
