Yesterday sucked. After school I got a call from the teacher who caused Weston's meltdown, she just couldn't understand why that would happen and she hadn't been able to understand him at all yesterday. Bleh!
I decided to have a me morning, so, I got my hair cut-- very cute new style, and indulged in some retail therapy-- even bought myself a new purse & khakis and finished up some Christmas shopping. (apparently Owen--my 6 yr old youngest-- has some issues w/ change because he refuses to look at me and sticks out his tongue because he 'hates that hair now' and wants me to wear a pony tail so I don't look different--sigh) But I'm feeling better.
And, the resource teacher emailed me w/ the 5-point scale she, the teachers and Weston are going to implement after the winter break. Yeah!


Hooray for making yourself feel better.
Well done Betsy. You needed some retail therapy, methinks.
It's funny because I came this--> ||

Sounds great Betsy. Owen will get used to it.
As for the 5 point scale, great stuff. we started one with Mike last year and I swear it was finally the thing that worked and he got it.

I tried the 5 pt scale for chris last week and he looked at me like he understood with my hand and fingers in the air.
ok, so here are before and after pictures
The first was taken on my bday in May-- I'd just had 6" cut off then, but it had had 6 months to grow back. The 2nd right after I had it cut and I took it of myself holding the digital camera at arms length.

I hope it's ok to post this link. The resource teacher Weston has is the special ed placement chair. She had some money in her budget to buy some books for the department at his school, when I suggested this book she decided they'd buy it. We'll see how it works when we go back after Christmas.
