And Sarah's only 3. But, I worry about this with my oldest, too. I wonder if I'd pushed for ear tubes when she was a baby if she wouldn't have the speech issues she has now, which in turn are affecting her ability to read. Sarah's in a Special Ed preschool right now, and I think it's a good fit for her, but when do I put her in a "typical" classroom? Or do I? I can expect her to fully included, but what if she just can't handle it? I don't want to set her up to fail. I'm sometimes envious, too. I feel so out of the loop, in so many areas, that I feel like I'm letting all of my kids down. So just know, you aren't alone in feeling the way you do. You are doing what's best for your son, as you are for all your kids. :) I worry about this, too. And Sarah’s only 3. But, I worry about this with my oldest, too.
