The last day of school is finally here!!

Well we've finally made it to the end of the school year and we are officially out for summer. Andrew has completed his two years in a special education preschool and will be moving on. It is kind of sad, scary, exciting, and weird to be closing one chapter and starting another one for him. The team that he has been working with for the past two years has been awesome.

They have really worked hard at trying to get Andrew up to grade level and ready for his next step. He was a bit of a challenge in the beginning and we've come a long way. That first day of school I dropped him off kicking and screaming. We have certainly grown alot since then.
Next year he will be going to the same school as Megan and will be in a special education kinder class full time. I've gotten to meet the teacher and hear just a little about the program. I'm excited and nervous for this next step and hope that he'll take the change well. It will be all new staff and a new environment for him to adjust to. It is going to be a big year for him.
Our little Megan finished her 1st grade year with flying colors. She loved every minute of her class. When I picked her up from her last half day of school she broke down in tears. She was so sad that she won't get to see her teacher anymore. She really liked her alot and will definitely miss her.

Now it is on to 2nd grade and she is already telling me that she can't wait to buy school supplies and see what teacher she gets. She hopes to get some of her friends in the same class next year and can't wait to see everyone again. She had a full year of learning, friendship, parties, and just plain fun. She is certainly growing up and becoming a little lady. It is awesome to watch her grow and see how her mind works.
We are happy to have summer vacation finally here. We've got some fun stuff planned for the summer and are already looking forward to the future.
