A New Start

This has been a pretty rough school year for Jacob. He has struggled so much.

With a few pivotal events taking place last fall (namely his brother, Brian, leaving for school), Jacob has continually spiraled downward. Suspension has been a regular word in our vocabulary, as of late. Then, with the presence of a new agency in our life (ahem), things have just even gotten worse.

Finally, after another rough day this week I had decided enough is enough already! I caved. I'm so over being in denial. My child and I need help. No way around it.

Enter, Tobinworld. I went and toured the school yesterday with Nan and came to the realization that this was a perfect fit for my boy. When I came home and showed him the DVD about the school, he became excited as well. He spent the whole evening last night walking around with this folder that he has in the picture.

After the Easter break, Jacob will be starting a new school. The van comes to our home and picks him up and carries his happy little self off to school. They deal with his stuff there and don't call me every time Jacob is having a melt-down or an "episode."

I'm happy. Jacob is happy. Skip is happy. The school district is happy. It is a win-win situation, I think. Check them out on-line (http://www.tobinworld.org/)!
