Emily got her first real report card yesterday. The first six weeks was ended with teacher conferences to discuss how well she did. I was a little concerned because she was so shy with her teacher, she didn't do well when she was tested one on one. So we talked about it, and I guess something sunk in. She got an E on for "exceeds expectations". I can't even express how proud of her I am. She says she likes school except it is so long, and they have so much to do in a day, but obviously she is attaining something.
We've had a bout with a major bully. He sat right next to Emily and was very rough, took things away and threatened to cut her with scissors, and kick her a@# and then come to our house and kick mine. A very trying time, what is the right words to say when you want to go and find his parents and do something to them that he has threatened to your 6 year old? And the day I decided to discuss it with her teacher, she was moved to a different table. A prayer answered!! I still called and talked to her teacher, who was unaware of all of his threats. I know Emily will have to get a thick skin because this is just the first of many, but how can kids be so mean at such a young age.
I just am beaming over my daughter and had to get it out. She is growing up so fast and learning so many things at school, good and bad. I will blink my eye and she will be a senior. I am just trying to relish in this moment with her!

I am so proud of her!!! I was just thinking about her the other day. The weekes have seemed so crazy and I haven't had a chance to catch up with you. I also wanted to see what school she goes to and if you'd be interested in us having lunch with her when we do "lunch out" at her school. Just a thought...i know she kind of knows me but...just let me know if your interested and I'll let you know when it's scheduled. Hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving!
