Mommyhood

It's really hard being a Mommy..You've got all these decisions to make, and you've got to worry about how they affect your kids.... I'm really struggling right now... With a HUGE change for Delilah. She's been doing a really fun/great Joy School. It's been super great and fun for her... It's totally NOT my thing. But I suck it up because I want to do what's best for my kid. Well the past few times, I've noticed..that she's seeming a little bored. I know that she has big siblings to contend with, and I am sure that plays a part. She's really smart, and she likes to be challenged. She counted to 100 today while we were driving home from some errands with minimal help. That's Huge considering that she is 4!! She knows all her ABC's, can write her name. She can almost right all her siblings names as well.  I wonder if Sam and I were a little spoiled with Molly, and the Pre-School program she was in last year... It was Awesome!!! She (Molly) is now in Kinder, and can read at a 1st grade level. We want that for Delilah too!! I am nervous, because she is going to be on the younger end when she starts Kinder... And as her Mom, I want to know that I have done all that I can to make sure she is prepared.

It saddens me a little to know, that she won't be attending her Joy School again in the new year, but I feel as if there is a Huge weight off my shoulders. I know that we are making the right choice for her and for our family. I also know that this means that I will totally have to buckle down and really work with her, But I don't think that it would be an issue. She loves to sit and do Homework when Molly does hers. I know that she is excited for the changes as well, seeing as how she's been asking to go to her "other" preschool class... Guess I should've taken the hint the first few times!! :)

Stephen's 5th Grade Finale!!

This is what all the Grandparents are being sent to commemorate Stephen, and his "Finale" from the 5th grade. I am still in shock just a bit, that my oldest child will no longer be attending Elementary school. He starts J.R. High in the fall...I think I might cry!!! I am sure he will love every minute of it, and he's gonna do great....but it's still a little heart wrenching knowing that my oldest baby truly is growing up!!!

Somday...

 have a feeling this is going to be one of the BEST Mother's Days yet.....I've started off the weekend on such a high..Met a mom at school today, who has a son with VERY similar issues to my Caleb. She has him enrolled in a local charter school, and has seen such a difference!! I am so excited to see if it might be a good fit for my Caleb as well. Then he (Caleb) came home with the Biggest smile, and a sweet little note for me..

Someday... By Caleb

Someday I will be a painter
... Someday I will go to England
Someday I will be a paleontologist
Someday I will get married
Someday I will be a chef
Someday I will be a dad
Someday I will get a clog
But just for Right now, I am happy as Your Son.
 
I want all these "someday" to happen for him. I want to see him happy, and healthy, and loving his life. I am nervous about making the school change again, but I know that he needs to be somewhere, where he can thrive.....maybe a fresh start that is JUST about him is just what the ticket is!!

Caleb's Getting Baptised!!

Hard to believe that my sweet little guy is already 8!! But yet, here we are planning another baptism!! He has grown up so much, and we cannot wait to watch him grow some more!!
