Normal is BORING!

Bubba was identified as developmentally delayed, deemed eligible for Special Education PreK he would receive speech & language services. After the PPT Bubba would go to school the following week, 3 days a week receiving Speech & Language services 1 hour a week! I was shocked & excited this meant that he would be going to PreK3 twice. Bubba was always good about me leaving him places he wasn't kid who had a fit when I left. I knew that is was going to be amazing for him to have to learn to communicate with other people not just me. I was terrified that he was going to flip out in the classroom when he couldn't tell them what he wanted or if he was put into a situation that he wasn't comfortable with. There were other concerns beside the delay in speech, Bubba didn't like a lot of things & not a no thank you I'm not fond of that; I mean a full blown panic attack sometimes being combative. There was a window though of how far you could push him ...

Patching & glasses with Bubba was oh so much fun in the beginning, he got used to the routine of every evening watching his movie; thank you Pixar & Disney for Cars, Lightning McQueen you are my hero! Slowly his brain began recognizing his eye & turned it back on! He still needed his glasses, they became his safety blanket. Upon starting he wanted nothing to do with them but now is was the first thing he wanted when he woke up & we had a process to get them off of his face at bedtime. The longer we patched & Bubba wore his glasses some of his quirks seemed to lessen & other things seemed to be arising. Over the next year we had some household changes, I had to return into the workforce finding a job that I could bring my son or worked with my husbands schedule.... I ended up becoming a bus driver, something I NEVER thought I would do! When I started there were a lot of moms & kids there; I was excited to get Bubba around other kids & for me...
