Out of Town

I am sitting here in my hotel room in Indy after spending the day learning about seating and positioning for all the kids I work with every day. There is so much potential there and some of these kids are sitting so poorly. I am making a list of the kids I really need to get in with to spend some time and let them learn and see just how much they can really do. Wow is about all I can say at this point. I am looking forward to the lab portion tomorrow when we work with each other on changing positions. I can't believe how fast the day went. Many of the courses I have attended in the past have been hard to sit through since I am not typically sitting all day, but up and moving around and sitting or laying on the floor with my students. This speaker was able to capture my attention and keep it all day! I am so excited to get back and get to work with my kiddos. It is geared toward my students with the more severe disabilities. The one's that so many just "don't know what to do with." So hopefully I will be able to go back and show some of the teachers and instructional assistants just how much some of these kids are capable of! It's also been good to just hang out with so many of my colleagues in a non-work environment.
I am however missing Tim, Hunter and Emily. It is good to get away and let go of some to the day to day responsibilities I have but it is also sometimes hard to let go and let someone else be responsible. All a part of learning that God is the one in control, not me.
