Hope

I am happy to report that The Fabulous Mrs. G. is living up to her name - no big surprise there, but reassuring nonetheless.

After the incident at The Princess's spring music program, The Hubbs and I decided to keep The Princess home from school until we reached a resolution.  The Fabulous Mrs. G. called me Monday morning, and I learned a lot in the space of about twenty minutes.  It seems that The Princess and Z have been paired together for most activities in school recently, and the initial solution involves pairing them off with other classmates to separate them from one another.

Starting on Tuesday, each of the girls has a new partner for each of her activities, and the classroom staff will be keeping a closer eye out for this type of behavior.  The girls are also in the same ESY (summer school) class each year, and that staff will be notified of the need to keep the girls apart as well.

Long story short: I am so grateful for The Princess's support team at school.  They obviously care about the kids they work with, and it shows in everything they do.  I've always thought of The Fabulous Mrs. G. as a guardian angel to our family, and my conversation with her on Monday only solidified that notion.

Last week, my heart was breaking.  Today, I have hope.  Hope that this solution will work.  Hope that Z will get the help she needs to pinpoint the cause for her aggression and help her and her parents deal with it.  Hope that, someday, I can be somebody else's Fabulous Mrs. G.
