Gosh, time to reflect for a minute and think that my dear, little Regan will now be a JR High/Middle School student in the Fall... WHERE did the time go... I am so proud of her. Some of her grades went down , but some that she normally struggles with, like Math, stayed a consistant B, so I am greatful she really tried as much as she could... with what was given to her. We are taking her out to dinner tonight to celebrate. She picked Macaroni Grill because she hasn't gone there yet! She can't WAIT to get into Middle School in the Fall.
Then, my little man Russell. My baby looking SIX yr old. Half the size of all the others He is FINALLY going into Elementary School... KINDERGARDEN!!!! It's a K-2 Class but Kindy nonetheless. I can't WAIT. It's finally here! We held him back in EC last year which was good. And now he gets to try the BIG BOY stuff! He gets a self-contained classroom but it looks and teaches like a preschool class. That is the best way to describe it. He hasn't had any of that yet. Learning days of the week, ABC's, numbers, Shapes... all that stuff. He is still on the fence for placement so we are giving him a nudge to the next step up. Kevin and I aren't looking for miricles. We KNOW he will soak up some, and some things he may or may not get.. and that is ok. He will be with his teacher, Debbie for THREE years, so that is good!!! I have envied lots you guys becuase you children are in Elementary school and what they can handle... we have struggled knowing it wasn't where he needed to be.. yet. So, it's now time!!! I can't WAIT!
And, Miss Reece... since there is an EC class next door to Russell at the new school, Miss Reece will be going to Elementary School TOO! She and Russell use to go to the EC center and now SHE thinks SHE is a BIG KID too.. Just like sissy and Russell!!! She thinks she will loose a tooth soon too! LMAO! I will be keeping Reece and Russell together at the same school. When Russell is in his last year of this k-2 class, he will be in 2nd grade and Reece will be in Kindergarden there. It will be neat to watch them both grow up at the same school. Something I ALWAYS wanted with Regan and Russell, but because of his needs and holding him back, Regan's school didn't offer what we needed. Regan always wanted Russell to go to school with her. But I, at least, get Reece to do it! Watch over her Big Brother!!!!
It was an emotional ending. We won't be using Regan's elementary school anymore and probably won't again. And Russell moved on too... And since Regan and Russell had the same teacher for BOTH years, it was a heartfelt goodbye. Complete with tears and hugs. I can't say there wasn't some pain along the way, but they both really had some great experiences and wonderful friends and teachers. (Even if I didn't like some of them ;D )
Just thought I'd share my ending to my little kids turning into big kids....
Thanks for listening
