     Hi Everyone, Kaleb's first 2 days at his new school went really, he has made a few new friends at school (he makes friends really easy).  Yesterday (Friday) at school by the time I went on my first 10min. break (at 10am) I had a voicemail on my cell phone from his Support Teacher (Spec. Ed Teacher), she said that Kaleb had taken the shortcut across the field to school that morning and the bottom of his shoes were all muddy and she was wondering if I had another pair of shoes for him.  I never called her back to let her know, that wasn't a major issue, I had an extra pair (he just borrowed a pair from the school that were a size to big but they worked). When my friend and I went on our half hour lunch break we went thru the drive thru at Burger King and then stopped by my place so I could grab his other pair of shoes and then we stopped by the school so I could drop them off for my son, when we got back to work we were right on time for clocking back in from our half hour lunch break, we made some very good timing since my place & the school are all the way across town from our work & Burger King.  My son informed me when I got home from work on his 1st day of the new school that he liked this school better (that was only the 1st day we'll see how he likes it @ the end of this school year).  The friend that I had lunch with yesterday was the same friend that I babysat for when I started this job (she's also the mother of my son's 2 half brothers & half sister, all of our kids have the same dad).  I sit next to her everyday at work, we get along very well w/each other we have alot in common, her oldest son who's in 4th grade has ADD and some other issues and then her daughter (the middle child) also has ADD and some other issues (both of the kids take meds for their ADD & the other issues they have) her & I can relate w/each other.  She also has bi-polar herself (she controls it on her own w/out any meds), her husband also has manic depressive order I think or some other form of depression but he takes meds for it and they do go to family therapy to help deal w/everything that goes on.  I didn't mean to write such a long SharePost, I wasn't going to write again until after my appt w/the Psychologist and Kaleb's appt. w/the Psychiatrist this coming week, but I figured I would write and let everyone know how Kaleb's first 2 days at the new school went, they went very well.  This time I'll try not to write again until this coming week on Friday or Saturday after we have our appts.  Take Care and have a Good Week Everyone - Heather and Kaleb
