School Success

To end the week on a more positive note, day three of preschool for LJ (albeit traipsing to the bus in a monsoon) is going much better.  Do not believe the picture from Wednesday's post.  He has actually been smiling and enjoying his new friends.  Here's a work sheet from Ms. Julia detailing what he was up to today. I've been getting one of these updates every day and its a nice way stay connected and keep up with Lew's daily activities.  Ms. Julia also informed us that "Lewis didn't seem to want the pizza, ate all the yogurt and was not too interested in drinking.  He ate at midline successfully. He is happy communicating and enjoying his peers." Perhaps he didn't want the pizza because he was too busy coveting his neighbor's goldfish crackers.

And here's a photo of Lewis getting off the bus today. I guess he figures there's nothing to be afraid of now.  No use fighting it.  Let's get the show on the road.  No tears.  The sun is trying to peek through the clouds.  We are all EXHAUSTED but thankful. Deep breath.  Let it all out.

And as we reflect on being thankful, let's all tell our loved ones how much they mean to us.  Our heart goes out to my brother and sister-in-law, Jordan and Kara. Her dad fought a courageous battle with cancer since November 2010. We hope you and your family find strength & peace during this difficult time. Please keep them in your thoughts.
