Our 1st FF Halloween

Breakthrough! We have four kids and try to take them one/one when possible. It was Naveia's turn yesterday for grocery shopping. Then trick-or-treating with dad and little brother. Later that night she said "I am so happy to be here". This was very encouraging to us and melted our hearts. She has always seemed very happy to be a part of our family but has never expressed it through words. We took a family trip to the zoo. I met with teachers for the yearly p/t conference. Naveia's teacher just loves my child. She gave her and E (excellent) for conduct (behavior). That made me very happy because she does not receive and E at home, or in dance class, so I was a bit surprised. She has turned her behavior a full circle since coming home but there are still issues that we see daily. Also I guess she is the "popular" girl in kindergarten. All the kids want to be her friend and play with her but she also tells them when to back up and give her some space. Oh yeah, her academics are right on target if not advanced, but honestly we already knew that. She is so amazing from where she has come from.
