Playschool Woes

Yesterday, I got a call from Alec's playschool, where Alec has attended for the past two years and is planning to attend on Monday and Tuesday mornings this year as well. She told me that Alec would need a shadow to be present with him all of the time because he was not potty trained and, as he is in a three year old class, he must be trained.

The frustrating thing is that Alec, who has sensory integration issues, will go to the potty but doesn't seem to have the ability yet to tell me when he has to go. I tried the panties and the mess doesn't even bother him. So, I think he is unable to be trained at this point.

I feel like it is unfair but there is not much I can do about it. Maybe it's God's way of telling me to get him into ABA right now...time is wasting. I try to look at everything, every hurdle, as an opportunity for God to show me what He wants.

God is so faithful, I have to remember that He knows what is going on.

I was reading about Moses in Exodus 4:

10Moses said to the Lord, "Lord, I am not a man of words. I have never been. Even now since You spoke to Your servant, I still am not. For I am slow in talking and it is difficult for me to speak." 11Then the Lord said to him, " Who has made man' s mouth? Who makes a man not able to speak or hear? Who makes one blind or able to see? Is it not I, the Lord? 12So go now. And I will be with your mouth. I will teach you what to say."

That made me realize that God is in control of Alec and his speech difficulty. It reminds me that God has the power to enable speech and can empower Alec to use his. God truly made Alec and allowed for this to happen, this disability, for a reason and promises that even in this, it will work for Alec's GOOD. "For all things work for the good of those in Christ Jesus". God has great plans for Alec!

I'm counting on that! More to come when Alec actually starts early intervention next week. What will it be like?
