Throughout the year, Ethan has been working hard to earn a Golden Husky Award from school. The students must achieve at least 15 out of 21 goals to earn the award, and Ethan earned 19! So the Fire Pig and I went to his school this morning to watch him receive his award.

I'm very proud of Ethan with every school year that passes. He's come such a long way since first being diagnosed with Asperger's, and he's overcome so many obstacles in learning that even his teachers are proud and amazed.
I'm so grateful for the EXCEL program, and for all the wonderful and caring teachers and counselors that have helped him along the way. It makes me sad to think think that after next year, it'll be his last year in the program, and he'll be leaving behind such great teachers and friends for middle school.
But, we'll get to that bridge when we get to it. ;-)
