We are putting a hold on sending Ss to the facility. It was my Dh's idea. I refuse to suggest anything any more.

Ss managed to become friends with two kids in our neighborhood. They are siblings. The girl is a year older than Ss, the boy is 2 years younger. These kids are being home schooled too. We had no idea there were other home schooled kids here.

My Dh talked to the father when he went to pick up Ss. It looks like they are the crazy Christian-type (of course). He tried to convince my Dh to teach Ss Science using a Christian textbook. But at least Ss made friends.

We will be heading to three facilities tomorrow to see them. WE will finalize one from these three. Hopefully we like at least one.

And what's making it harder to send Ss to these schools/centres is that he is putting in effort to be better. He has been eating every single thing we give him. He is gaining weight again. He even talks to us a little bit every once in a while. But then we hear him crying at night so we know he's just acting like he's better.

We have decided to send Ss to the school. Ss was acting well actually. But I think what finally convinced my was Dh was last Thursday. We had a family dinner at my Dh's parents' house. It was fine. Ss just sat in a corner while all the kids hung out in the basement. We were keeping an eye on him except for he would take washroom breaks. They were quite frequent so we thought he wasn't feeling well. Well, it turns out he was sneaking wine all night.

Last night Ss woke up from a nightmare. He had a very stressful day with seeing the specialist and the whole yelling the day before. We bolted downstairs when we heard crying on the baby monitor. We were fearing the worst.
