We got a lot of images last week when we had our ultrasound….and we even got a quick little move. Click HERE to see B2. There is a pretty good face shot towards the end. I think she looks just adorable. Aside from feeling busy with school, I pulled out the bin of clothes that I’d saved from Maggie. Was there really a time when she was THAT teeny? Maggie promptly ‘borrowed’ all the hats and put them on her dolls and stuffed animals….after realizing that Barry’s head was far too big.
Having met my students this week, I’m feeling very excited about the coming year and I’ve already learned a lesson or two myself. The biggest of which has been this: no matter what anybody says, Kindergarten and First Grade students are NOT the same. I couldn’t have gotten through these past few days with out some help from fellow teachers and instructional assistants. We’re working on simple things like walking in line, pushing in chairs, taking turns, counting, blowing noses….not crying. I haven’t been lacking in stories to share with Barry when I come home because, like I said, Kindergarten is in its own Universe.
This week has been better for Maggie too. Today I met up with Alyssa and Emery after work at a splash park and, aside from both girls being tired, they were having a ball! Here is a photo Alyssa sent me that speaks volumes:
If Maggie loves one thing, I think we can all agree that she loves a good water park. The weather has been kind to us this week and I think our girl was very pleased to hit up the water park. I have felt much better this week about leaving her, I’d be lying if I said it was suddenly easy, but it is better. Plus, she’s got her buddy, Emery to tag along with. Don’t they look like they’re ready to conquer the park?
Crazy video, pretty cool they can do that.
