You just got to believe....

Wonderful week. Butterfly is doing great. I can't stop thinking about school. Maybe that is the whole issue. Maybe she just isn't ready for kindergarten. She appears so carefree and happy after a week off of school. She is not getting "in trouble" all day. She is not being singled out. She is getting lots of positive attention. 

I want to believe it is all the school. Then we could just pull her. Keep her home another year. Or move her to the charter school which has more individualized instruction (we think). 

The Teacher at Brother's school called yesterday. We have become friends.  She told us to call the head of enrollment at the charter school Monday morning. I think we may have gotten into the school.  Now what?! It is all we wanted over the summer. I still think it would be a better fit for Butterfly... especially over the long run.  I can't imagine pulling her though. I understand we get a chance to go observe the classroom and talk with Teachers, etc before we make the decision. It would be amazing if we got in there. I think we would do it.  

Butterfly Girl got a scooter for Christmas. Yesterday she rode it around the park for 45 minutes, singing at the top of her lungs "you just got to believe in your heart."  She didn't even miss a beat when she crashed into the trashcan. She just kept singing while she brushed herself off and then jumped back on the scooter. It was pretty cute.

What a journey you are on! And what wonderful parents you are. I look forward to meeting Butterfly Girl someday soon. How fortunate she is to have you as a parent.
You have the beginning of a book here...We love you! Karen G.
