Hallelujah.

The imp had a good day at school, and came home with stickers and smiley faces on his work.  He also had a meeting with and assessment from the speech therapist that's employed by the private school--one not connected at all with any government entity.  The speech therapist has a master's degree in linguistics, speech acquisition, and speech therapy, rather than a degree in social work or education with a few continuing education credits in speech therapy. 

And now?  Now, we have a three day weekend.  Three days where I don't have to worry about his behavior in school.  Next week is a four-day week for him, two for the pixie--who hasn't really had behavior issues.
