Danny is going to visit the middle school today. It really makes me sad and kind of scared to think he will be moving up next year. The elementary enviroment is such a protective one. His Elementary school has been great. Jill Hilla is a super principal and Danny has had awesome teachers. I'm trying to be open-minded that things will continue to be as good at the middle school. I am glad that there are a lot of church kids there that will look out for him and he will be with all the fifth graders from his elementary who know him and seem to like him. I did meet one of his middle school teachers, he'll have two besides his encore classes which will be with the regular ed kids, and she seems like she'll be fine..... He, of course, is SO excited to be going to middle school. Although, I'm not sure how excited he'll be next year when he has to get up at 6:00 am to catch the bus!I did my walk outside yesterday and today. It is a nice change from the treadmill. I'm not sure why I haven't done so sooner. I'm listening to "On the Banks of Plum Creek" by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Jeanie has been listening to the series and I decided to also. I told Danny he should listen to them and Jeanie said, "No, he better not...They are really scary."

Hi Ann, It is scary, I know. I worried for Kelly with the change to middle school and now again with her going to high school next year, especially being completely mainstreamed with VERY broken english. But somehow, God takes care of His little ones as He has shown me time and again and I wonder why do I worry so? She is probably our happiest and least worrisome about her life of our kids. Yet she has the most outward (noticeable) struggles. She really is a faith strengthener and a marvel. (Not to say that if she grows up and doesn't hate me it will be a miracle; as mother's we feel so inadequate.) So we worry and hope that all goes well, and sometimes all doesn't go well, but God helps us through! Good Luck Dan! Lynn
To know him is to love him! He'll do just fine.
