So, the first week of school is over and Marshall absolutely loved it. It was like he never even left. He was upset Thursday afternoon when I picked him up for therapy, he kept looking at Ms. Boykin, hoping that she would let him stay. I hate to see him upset when he has to leave school, but it is so comforting to know that he truly enjoys his time there.
He rode the bus home on Friday, which is kind of his treat at the end of the week, and he enjoyed it as usual. Marshall works so hard during the week, that Mark and I feel like he deserves something fun on Fridays. He again cried when I got him off of the bus. At this point, I'm thinking there is probably someone watching and wondering why every time I pick my kid up he cries?
Jordan is doing good in her new classroom, but change is definitely hard. Mark and I are both trying to be patient with the new teachers and allow them time to get to know J and learn what her needs are. This definitely is not an easy thing to do, but it is necessary. We have a meeting with everyone on Thursday to discuss seating and expectations in the classroom, so hopefully it will go great.
It's such a hard thing for any parent to watch their children grow up. Sometimes I think it is much harder for parents like Mark and I for the fact that our children require help from so many people to participate in activities, eat their meals, & get from one place to the other, just to name a few. Marshall and Jordan are doing so well in all of their therapies that we are so excited for what the future holds. May this new transition in all of our lives be a smooth and gentle one and M and J learn lots of new things this year.
