That’s a wrap! Winter break has come to an end and as usual, I’m ready for my crew to be back to a routine.

We had a wonderful break filled with some old and some new traditions, time with family, meltdowns, laughter, anxiety but most of all just enjoying all that the holidays bring.

As much as I am ready for us to return to our routines, there are some bug things happening as we return.

Courtney will be back at school with her brand new teacher. Her teacher she started with in august left suddenly in October. She had a long term sub that wrapped up the fall nicely. Though a new teacher brings on another change, we are so excited as this should be the last teacher change for the next few years. It’s about time!

Alyssa had a rough start with school to say the least but November and December were a lot better. In the coming weeks we hope to meet with her team to discuss what additional supports she could possibly get with the new diagnosis. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous about how going back to school will go for her but I’m going to remain positive!

Then there’s me. The coming months I will be completing my last two courses towards becoming a BCBA. The courses aren’t the only part of the process though. I also have to do a practicum. Fortunately my work counts towards my hours but it will cause some additional paperwork and zoom sessions. Not sure why, but I am extremely nervous about this next step in the process.

Joe has no big changes. Hopefully he will just be the strong one that cheers us all on these coming months. 

Good bye winter break! It was a blast! Cheers to the New Year! We’ve got this, girls!
