Hello! We are officially on vacation!! and by 'we' I mean 'they'- this is when a job in the school systems really seems appealing ;-)
Any way, The kiddos have started vacation and I've gotta tell ya, we are pretty sad to be leaving behind our amazing teachers!!! This school year- while really, really hard in the beginning for our baby girl, was truly the best year Abe has ever had. We had teachers, aides, and therapists that pushed him and loved him- the perfect combination. Bohdan has great years every year- the amount of knowledge he gained in 1st grade blew me away. We are thankful that his teachers push him to learn and demonstrate his knowledge in such creative ways. Aurelia ended on a really good note- it took 100 days of school for her to make it into her classroom without a complete meltdown, therefore, we're calling the rest of this year a success!
Here are a few of the bracelets we made for our teacher friends- the kids picked out the colors for each one! Aurelia loved the neon beads :-)
Here's one pile of the sugar scrub we made! Seriously delicious smelling ( we used Young Living Lemon Essential Oil ) sugar, and olive oil-
The kids all helped stir and scent the sugar!
We included a summer cd full of all of our favorite dance tunes from the last 6 months or so, as well as a few gift cards to necessary places like Orange Leaf etc :-)
We were able to thank 24 different individuals this year- it seriously does take a village to raise a child, especially a child with special needs!
