Now that we’re a week into a new routine things are starting to settle in. Yesterday was Josh’s first day of real kindergarten but the one thing that was missing was his teacher. They informed us on Friday that what we were expecting and the teacher the kids had been meeting was not going to happen. Major bummer. Josh was supposed to get Emmas old teacher who she just loved and now he’s got a substitute. I don’t know I just feel kind of ripped off with the whole thing. I felt that maybe that teacher would really be able to connect with Josh and help him and now he’s just another Josh with some random teacher. No sibling prior attachment, no discussions on him in general, just Josh lost in the crowd. It’s a big fear of mine. This kid cannot afford to be lost. He needs to be nourished, and challenged and encouraged and he just needs so much more that what I think he’ll be recieving. It’s sad. Hopefully I’ll be proven wrong and the teacher they do hire, will be amazing and see that Josh is ‘special’ and needs a little more than maybe some of the other kids. Let us pray.

Now Emma, oh Emma. She too got a royal mess over. Her class of Grade 2 was supposed to finally be a singel grade class and I was looking forward to her in a real grade. Not a split class like she’d been in for 2 years before. Well no, Same day as Josh’s annoucement they told us the gr.2′s would be split in either a 1/2 split or a 2/3 split. I am so thankful she got put in the 2/3 split. Not to say why they chose the ones they chose ( I think there was only 4 from Emmas class that got in the 2/3) but i am so happy at least she too might get a little more challenged. And THANK GOD one of the kids that got into that class was her best friend because I’m not sure what I’d do or what she’d do if she was all alone.

So now that things are settling and the kids are having a great time at school things are just looking really good. Our business is doing really well. My photography is getting really busy and life looks good. Of course as soon as things seems too good to be true, they usually are so we’ll see what we get thrown at us .
