We went to Melody's second Parent/Teacher Conference on Thursday February 4 and it was filled with praise and the teacher kept telling us how "perfect" Melody is, I am so grateful that Melody enjoys school so much. It was so wonderful to see the pride and happiness on not only Melody's face but also on Nate's as we left the school. I have never seen a prouder man!
Melody cannot wait to go to school she is always watching the time and pushing us out the door to catch the bus. The second she walks through the door she is eager to do homework and once it's done, she finds other things to do like color, write or teach her brothers. We have been so lucky with her self-motivation, eagerness and desire to grow and learn. I hope this is a life long thing. :)
I realized the other day that we only have about 6 months to get Coda ready for school. He, however, is NOT as willing and eager to learn. He much rather play video games and run around, like a typical little boy, getting into trouble. So we are going to have to work hard on preparing him for school. Melody is very willing and anxious to help with this, she is constantly trying to show him how to write, spell and share all her knowledge with him. I am so thankful for her help and that she is such a great big sister!
I am so proud and grateful of each and every one of my family members.I have come to really acknowledge that as a family we will be able to tackle anything, it's something you always hear and kind of know, but to actually see and feel it, is so different! I am so excited for all that this year and all the years to come will hold for us!
Change is so hard for me, and yet at the end of it I almost always realize that it was far better than I thought it would be.
ReplyDeleteIt's great to recognize our families.
You're right, I do think we can tackle anything thrown our way. It's so great to have that family bond.
I enjoyed this post.
