7 years ago is when the journey started. 7 years ago we took Courtney into the building that became her preschool to be evaluated.

It’s ironic that today on the 7 year anniversary of it being determined that she needed an IEP. Joe and I met with two administrators in the district to discuss some of our frustrations with her placement for next year.

As I sat and watched Joe be OUR voice at the meeting today I thought of this picture. I knew today was the anniversary before I even saw it pop up in my Facebook memories.

So many transitions since that day 7 years ago. So many unknowns. But most importantly so much growth.

We continue to have so many emotions about the transition that lies ahead for 4th grade But if there is anything we have learned in the past 7 years is that Courtney can handle any challenge she’s thrown.
