Chloe had her first day of First Grade today! Can you believe it? She was so excited, she couldn't wait until it was time to head to class. She had her backpack ready to go the night before and picked out her favorite outfit during her fashion show the other night. She had Elementary Theatre class and sign language (yes both taught by Mom) today. She had so much fun! She has other classes on Friday. We've been doing school work all summer so we can't say it is her first day of school but it was her first day of classes.
Chloe is generally a very bubbly, social butterfly but today she was very shy and a little intimidated by new friends, classes and experiences. As she gets older she is starting to notice a difference between her and other kids. Especially at school. For that reason I am glad we homeschool her. She is around a lot of older Elementary School kids who treat her very nice even if they don't always understand what she is saying. Plus I think having Mom around helps when she needs an interpreter. There are times she just starts tearing up because no one understands her, so I am glad I can be around to help her when she needs it. Although I must admit those moments are rare and far between and they do make Mom tear up a bit too. But for the most part she does very well on her own and works hard to be understood. She was slower to jump right in today but she started to warm up and make new friends.
