I survived!

Well I survived my first week back at school. I am teaching all new kids so that means I have to get to know a whole new set of kids with different wants, needs, and triggers. My first week went pretty well. Much better than it did last year. I was much more comfortable and easy going about the first day. Most of my kids are pretty well behaved and respectful. I only have one that is REALLY annoying. We will see what happens with him.

Mike is doing well. He is gearing up for harvest. His last day at his day-to-day job will be the 12th. All of his machines are ready to go and he is getting antsy. He is going to work very hard with very long hours this year...so it will be me and Taylor for the next few months. It will be a little lonely, but we will get through it.

Taylor is also doing great. She knows all of her basic colors and counts to 10! She likes to show off a little with it too. She is also starting to learn songs. Her favorites are The Wheels on the Bus and The Itsy Bitsy Spider. She tries her best to sing along and she knows all of the hand motions. She has also started gymnastics. She loves that! She loves to be around other kids so she has a great time. My mom takes her on Wednesday mornings. I am really excited for her.

I can't believed it's already August! Things are going by so quickly that it's a little scary! I don't think they will slow down anytime soon either. I hope this finds everyone doing well.
