Sweet Elyanna Grace is in 1st Grade. She has been talking non stop and so excited about Recess and of course, Lunch! I have noticed though, this past week, at times she just started crying. I finally figured out she was nervous. She didn't even know it - but it is a big change for such a little girl.
She is in Mrs. Pogue's class - which is the same teacher Lydia had. We loved her and have developed a nice relationship with her over the years - so glad Elyanna gets to be in her class.
Big Shot Lydia - is in GATE (gifted and talented education) class again this year, so she has the same teacher as last year. This is so great, as he is a great teacher and she is familiar with him. So she was confident and ready to learn. Lydia is so excited to have her sister in school with her. They have been talking about recess together and lunch together and seeing each other in the halls. It is fun to be the mom of sisters!
As a parent it is always hard letting your kids go out where you are not with them constantly. But the amazing thing is I know that even if I am not there - there is someone who loves them immensely more that I do - Jesus! Jaime's and my biggest prayer is that these kids are confident in who God has made them, that they listen and obey, and that they are lights in their world. When God is for them - who can be against them?
