Today when we were eating breakfast, Emma asked, “Can I go to the new school?” I asked her if she meant the school she went to last week for a day. She said yes. This is proof that she wants to learn and that she knows what kind of environment she needs.

I asked the advocate if Emma’s opinion or voice meant anything in our case, and I told her what she said. She was surprised that Emma had that reaction after only one day of being there. And that it definitely speaks volumes. She said we would definitely mention that in our next meeting.

Again, tonight Emma asked if she could go to the “new school” tomorrow. I wish I could tell her yes. I wish I could tell her she’d be there in the fall. I want to, but I don’t want to get her hopes up. Or mine.
