Today was Emily's last day of school. She has such mixed emotions about it ending this year. Her teachers have been nothing but fantanstic!! I want to recommend them both for sainthood! I wish they'd both move up to 5th grade. She's had a great year, all A honor roll the 1st 3 grading periods and A/B this last one (we kinda got tired at the end). She was 1 of 9 kids (out of 150) who got the Governor's Reading Award this year.
I gave her a necklace and matching earring set yesterday morning and told her how proud I am of her and all that she accomplised this year. She just stood there and cried. (She's got my emotions.) This year has flown by. And next year starts a new chapter for all of us with J.R. going to school with Emily. He can't wait - she's dreading it.
As she left this morning, I gave her a big hug and told her how proud we all are of her and that she's had a great year. I also told to her to enjoy the moment that she walks in the door to school today - it will be her last, alone, without her brother. She thanked me for reminding her.
My dearest first born - I hope you know how much I love you and how proud I am of you. I know I spend more 1 on 1 time with your brother but that doesn't mean I love you any less. I can trust you to take care of many things on your own - you've always been so independent, that is something mommy never really has been. I love you my sweet girl!
