Last day of school was yesterday. It is official. After 8 years, I no longer have a child in a special needs preschool and I now am the mom of a middle schooler. Someone pass me the hair color please.

Cait had her "promotion" ceremony on Thursday night. The school had little awards assemblies with a slide show of the whole year. I went to that 2 times (one for 1st grade and one for 3rd). Then Emily had a field trip to the park for all day Friday that I chaparoned and Mike had a party where I was in charge of bringing lots of stuff. Add onto that teacher gifts and boy what a busy week.

Now next weeks starts 3 weeks of ESY, then a week of VBS. Sure, nice relaxing summer.

Oh did I mention, Mike gets to go with his regular teacher for ESY? She is teaching a basic skills class but is letting Mike come along too so he will do better. He doesn't do well with change at all and is very excited to go actually.

enjoy? your summer! and yes, once you have a child in middle school you do start to feel old! They really do need your presence more in middle school than they do in preschool though. It's a really tough age for all kids and esp tough for kids w/ social deficits.
