          basically tries to jolly him out of it ("look, there's a squirrel!", essentially). He treats him like he's still 6mos old, not 3yo.

    Dear GGM of my DC passed at 92 after years in care and many days in hospice 2 hours away from us. DC knows her and used to come to visits until I stopped taking him b/c of her dementia and extremely poor state of health. DC 8 yrs old and I want to take him to funeral to acknowledge her life. Ex disagrees. Thoughts?

    sounds like more of a SN school, but if that's the case, they weirdly didn't talk much about it during the tours. Anyone know the school and the ratio of TD to SN kids in each class?
