Just as I was taking the kids to Lesley's for a play date with Caroline & Eleanor, the Super Shuttle pulled up to our house with my mom in it! She was nice enough to stay with Henry at home (he was a bit grumpy) while I took the girls on the play date.
This afternoon I went to an appointment with the therapist for Anna's Selective Mutism (the reason my mom came!). Anna won't meet with the therapist until late next month but it was good to talk to the therapist and let her know what has been going on. She is hopeful that a big part of the problem has been the international setting we were in the past three years and that once Anna is settled in an American school with native English speakers she will start to speak at school. She also suggested that I take Anna to the school and hang out with her there a few times before the Meet the Teacher night (when it is going to be a little crazy). I'll try and arrange that tomorrow.
