H...Brodi, I'm exactly the same way with my son. He has autism and has done 2 years of special education preschool and now he's in a learning center kindergarten. Starting preschool was hard, but now I send him off to school with a smile, because he loves it so much. But every now and again he just seems so old and I get a little sniffly. But I definitely enjoy the moments when they own a little more of their independence. :)Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15369907847575573881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6131409629757210790.post-44041389728485544902011-05-11T15:24:31.706-07:002011-05-11T15:24:31.706-07:00Ruth- I'm the same way!

It really got me moving on my WIP.<br /><br />I love burritos, by the way. That is a great prize. *Waits anxiously to receive it*<br /><br />Kid B's picture is brilliant! But maybe he'll slow down on that growing stuff for a little while.... :)<br /><br /><br />Jenni - Thank you so much! <br /><br /><br />Robin - You definitely deserve half of my prize burrito. I am so glad I could do my part. :) Seriously, thanks for your encouragement, and thanks for the team name! You are awesome. :)Kristin Lynn Thetfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12108909242693115499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6131409629757210790.post-32491564478638553002011-05-11T13:32:50.391-07:002011-05-11T13:32:50.391-07:00I am one of those moms who held a celebration when...I am one of those moms who held a celebration when my kids went to kindergarten. Not a kleenex in sight. My husband says I am emotionally deficient. But once in a while, they reach some random milestone that gets me teary-eyed.

Our little Kid B thinks talking is so overrated. And Kristin totally owes you half a burrito. When she receives it, she should tear it in half, and get your prize in the mail!<br /><br />Jenny- He does look like he knows a secret... that he'll never tell.

('Cause, as everyone knows, writing the two words of the title is just as hard as writing 40,222 words of the story.) Go, me! Oh, and Kristin! Thanks for doing your part!<br /><br />My husband texted me today to begin a discussion on whether we should hold our speech-delayed 5-year-old back for another year of kindergarten. You may want to consider this solution to your woes: if he never graduates, you'll never have a graduate. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09413777557796110450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6131409629757210790.post-16200576167809250332011-05-11T12:29:29.533-07:002011-05-11T12:29:29.533-07:00That pic of Kid B totally rocks.
