School days

So far Anastasia loves school!  She hasn't told us a lot of what she has done, but when she tells me something you can tell how proud she is of it.

The past 3 days have been full of phone calls from the nurse, I usually get a call when she gets in, before lunch, after lunch, around her special (art, music or gym), and then before she goes home.  The first 2 days I got calls around recess because her blood sugar was dropping.

Today I haven't gotten a single call.....I hope this means they have gotten the hang of what to do.  I'll see around 10:50 when it's lunch time.

The first 2 days she did miss some class time because of her fluctuating numbers.  Yesterday she missed a little bit of gym, but not because of her numbers.  You see Anastasia is a very smart little girl, and she noticed that when she went to the nurse to get her insulin for her meal, she knew mommy provided the nurse with goldfish for her low blood sugars (before gym only).  So she thought if she told the nurse (and her TA) she was hungry she would get the fish.....

That stemmed a conversation for the 2 of us that the Nurses office was NOT to be used for an extra snack time.  It also caused her to request a slightly bigger lunch and snack for today.  Hopefully that works.

Other than that there is nothing new.  I have back to school night on Thursday so we will see what that includes for us.  I am just so glad that Anastasia has adjusted quite well to getting up early to get ready for her bus.  I haven't yet (because I am NOT a morning person at all), but hey I love seeing her get on with a smile every morning!

Breathe...

As the school year begins I have to keep reminding myself to do just that. I am worried, probably more than I have to be but worried none the less.  

I love Anastasia's teacher already.  She seems really nice and has really tried to get to kmow each of her students.  Thursday we had the welcome picnic and she said hello to each family.  She even raced Anastasia to get a slice of pizza (Ana won).  

I just pray that the TA knows what she is doing.  That my daughter won't lose alot of class time due to insulin adminstration, and that she can enjoy school as I once did.
