Today was Kate's last session!! Well, of the first block anyway. Number 36!! It is hard to believe I am sitting here typing this. It has gone a lot differently than I had expected. We have both learned so very much and we are not done yet!
So we are going to continue and then take a little break to go home for about a week. Kate is feeling very homesick (she would leave today) and it will be fun to see Matt and friends and gather some energy to finish out the next three months.
Sometimes I get discouraged because things are not going as happily as I want them to go. And then today it just hit me. Kate was doing the exercises and said to me "Mommy I will just take my time and do these because I am feeling tired. I will do the best I can." Wow! That really hit me. She didn't say that she wouldn't do them, just that she would do them a little slower. That is a major difference. She has really grown up these last few months and it is easy for me to forget.
The big difference is that before BB she would just plain refuse to do something and nothing I said or did would change her mind. Well, lately, she has been doing things she doesn't want to do. She will still grumble about it or say firmly that she is NOT going to do it, but then she does. I am really impressed with that.
