As it turns out the meeting with THEAC was relatively painless. The lady stayed for two hours, we bombarded her with all kinds of examples of what we do and why and she left happily after assuring us we would achieve 'full registration' (whatever that means).
Before her arrival, I spent the whole morning cleaning the house, despite my husband's assurances that she is not assessing our ability to clean. Of course, seconds before her arrival time, our new puppy decided to deposit an almighty disgrace at the front door! Bloody dog!
Still we managed to clear it up before answering the door...hope our red faces and hesitant grins or the strong smell of disinfectant didn't alarm the poor woman.
Our eldest calf hit her the second she walked in with her handwriting book, her favourite reading book and a bunch of things she'd been working on, feeling entirely annoyed that she seemed more interested in talking with her father and I than to her.
We showed her little fish, we talked about the why and how, we traded stories and experiences, she shared some information on groups and where to access resources. There were no prying questions, no assumptions or threats. She didn't walk around the house with a clipboard and red pen.
"See you in a year?" - deal!
...If only everything could be so simple.
