My kids have one week left of school. They are really excited. I'm excited too summer time is always fun time. However I am feeling a bit sad. I think I get myself too emotionally attached to things. I went to Kate's little Kindergarten end of school singing performance today. As I watched the children sing and dance (which was so adorable) I realized I didn't know any of her classmates names. I had not had an opportunity to help in her class like I have in Audrey and Hailey's classes in the past. When they were in kindergarten I could name every single child in both classes. I understand that I am at a different place in my life now than I was then. But it still makes me sad. Kate's teacher got emotional on the last song and explained to us that this is her last year teaching and she would miss the children terribly, that touched me. I did have fun times with Kate this year that I didn't have with the other girls. When Max and Ruth went to preschool this year each day I had an hour alone with Kate, we had nice Kate and Mommy time. One more thing to be sad about, when I got home I had received an email from Max and Ruth's preschool teacher. She is one of the teachers that is getting cut out of the budget next year. That makes me very sad since Max and Ruth were scheduled to be in her class next year for the 4 year old preschool. She has been most helpful with Max and his epilepsy. He only had one seizure the whole time in school, but she had to take care of him with a lot of odd behavior as we played with his medicine to find out what would work best. It is sad to see her go. It is sad to let go of another year.
My little Kate is done with Kindergarten all ready to be a big girl. My baby Cakes, How I wish I could snuggle that little baby one more time. But she's a big girl now. I'll just have to snuggle that little 6 year old.
My Audrey and Hailey can read and write and have been baptized. Third grade my two little babies are going to go into 3rd grade.
It has been a great year. They went to a good school and had good teachers. I'm pleased with their progress. One thing for me to let go of, but it is good for them to grow which I am so grateful for.
One of my dear friends had a terrible thing happen to her family. Her son was attacked by a retired police dog, he was their pet. She was sure it was an accident, he probably thought that Kaleb was a toy, he was loosing his sight. Kaleb has been in the hospital for 2 months now and had had many surgeries. I just found out that there is a fundraiser for him, there was a news story on fox 13 yesterday updating his condition. Here is a paper on the ride. Anyone and everyone please feel free to come. It should be fun for the family. All of the proceeds go to the Waynes.
Grammy Bair was so nice she came out to my house and we went to a nursery together and got flowers she helped me put them all into pots. YEAH! I've never had flowers before it was really fun. Thanks mom. :)
