How time does fly. My kiddo has been going to "school" for most of his life and until now I was never very nervous about it. It's always been a good experience for him and he's done well so far. This year feels totally different to me..maybe because this year really will be different. 2nd grade..this isn't easy learning anymore, this is real important - set you up for the rest of your schooling life - kind of stuff. This is where I have to step up and do everything I can to make sure that he doesn't fall behind and that he only moves forward in all of his challenges. I've slacked big time this summer and not put enough time aside to be working on things that will be tough for him starting off. His speech is still a major issue and I think that he's moved backwards with that a bit over the summer..we should have been working more on his 2nd grade reading words, on knowing his nickel, dime and quarter, on his handwriting that is hideous... But these are all "coulda, woulda, shoulda" s and that's not going to help him any now. So I need to be sure to really give him all that I've got through this school year and make sure that he gets any and all help he needs to succeed.
I am very excited to see where this school year takes him. Excited to see the boy he'll be as he learns more and more. Excited to see growth and developments that he'll make between now and the time he's moving into 3rd grade...
Good luck to my little man, and good luck to me : )
