School is back in session and
mommy Brooke couldn't be any happier!! Okay truth be told day one (Monday) was not a huge success. But I contribute that to the fact that the amazing Mrs. Cadel wasn't there. Brooke adores that woman and when she was back in today it seemed to completely change Brooke's mood about this going back to school business.
So in true VanArnhem fashion we say "who cares as long as we look good"! So Brooke was all decked out in her high fashion ensemble (at least as far as preschoolers are concerned). Accessorized with her trusty AFO's and yes/no cards attached with a badge holder (something new we're trying out so that mom can stop saying "Oh shoot where are those cards") - she was ready to make a statement. And although you can't see it here - her shirt has a little arrow on it and says "I am one cool kid". Indeed she is!!
We had a meeting with Brooke's teachers and therapists after school today just to get everyone on the same page as this year starts out. I felt pretty good about it (and the fact that Brooke was really turning on the charm for everyone there!). I've got some high hopes for this year so I'll keep everyone posted on our progress!
