A bittersweet day for Jack. Happy about it being the last day and all--sad, because all of his best buddies are a year ahead of him--and they're moving on to middle school. Thankfully, his teacher is NOT going to change schools as first planned, so he gets to return to her again next year. Jack started the year reading at a 7th grade level...and finished it at a 12th grade level! He is going to be in the gifted program next year--we are so proud. And I, for one, am thankful that he inherited his father's brains. His report card is better than any report card I *ever* got.
Mom is getting blood right this minute--she was down to 6 & change...but platelets were holding at 18k. So--she had to go in for THREE units this time and was very discouraged. But remember, she just had a week of Vidaza shots....so the roller coaster ride is simply continuing.
Jack & I are taking off for NYC tomorrow and coming back Weds. night. We are going to the Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island...hopefully a Broadway show...and my awards dinner is Monday. We're going to try to get on the Today Show on Tuesday, since it'll be Jack's birthday. Look for us behind Al Roker!
When we get back...summer theatre for Jack. Our church is producing Peter Pan, and I think Jack might actually be more excited about that right now than going to NY. He'll learn.....
