I.E.P. Day, and boy is his face red.

The night before IEP day and this mommy is a mess. I hate these meetings more than anything, where a group of people sit you down, tell you your child is not capable of things you know they are, how far behind everyone else they are at basic skills, ect. I hate hearing what my son "cant" do, it sets the mommy bear off in me. I go on the defense, then the offence. Even though you say that he's so far behind in everything but he doesnt need different services. I swear IEP meetings are the worst. 

Now to add the extra stress to my life, I do not have a babysitter for the IEP meeting. I will have to bring my preschooler, who will not be sitting well during it, but I don't have another option. I was already worried about all this, before my youngest managed to dye his face red! The school who seems to always be finding flaws with me, will meet my 3 year old with red all over his face. I don't let my son play with food coloring on his own, but lately we've been learning about mixing colors using the food dye, and he managed to get into my gel food coloring, and got it all over his hands and face. Of course, because it wouldn't be my luck this didn't happen. I obviously threw him in a bath, and we scrubbed his hands, face until he was done. He's still red.
