last school year was well in a nut shell was …hell…
this year i’ve been skeptical so i haven’t written anything as of yet, but it’s been well over a month going onto two months and well, i’m so happy to report, yeah he’s doing GREAT! oh he still does his fun stuff like stuff paper towels into his shirt and return to the classroom looking like a muscle man, or get in trouble here and there for doing dumb things (but most almost 9 year olds don’t have much going on up there anyways on the “lets be reasonable here”)
i ran into his teacher at the grocery store, and she said that “nate is doing so great…he’s working so hard in class and getting all his work done.”…”um we are talking about MY son nate right?” then i had to ask “he said that this week he didn’t have any homework so i didn’t press it till i talked to you…” she answered “oh yeah, like i said he’s been doing ALL his work, the class work AND his homework in class.” my jaw drops, tears flood my eyes a huge smile spread across my mouth…i quickly say thank you and that she’s a great teacher and go on my merry way before i make a fool of myself and cry in front of the teacher and the whole dang town that has decided that this was the time to do their grocery shopping….i owe this great difference to a great new teacher, the ladies at school that have become good friends, sticking to the token system and a ton of prayer…not just from me and GI joe husband but from family and friends THANK YOU! not only is he doing well in school he’s got FRIENDS…
