Today my emotions run high as I send Gage and Savannah off to their first day of school. Not only is it the first day back, but it is the first time they will be in the same school together. Gage has decided to go back to Bluffdale Elementary after being at the Montessori for 3 years. It is a big step for him, but he is eager and ready. It has been a long hard road making this decision as parents. We applied for a special needs scholarship for Gage through the Jordan School District, and were pleased when they offered to pay for 1/2 of his private school tution. We then left the decision up to Gage, and he was sure he wanted to move on and try something new. I want you to know that the tests that the Jordan School District did for the scholarship were extensive, and Gage did beautifully. He only qualified for the scholarship in one area:) I wasn't surprised to find that Gage's IQ results were way above average for boys his age. We all know how intelligent he is, but I was so grateful for the proof that he really is an amazing person. When the term special needs is used for Gage, it is only because is one special young man. Gage's daddy woke up this morning and felt very inspired to give Gage a father's blessing before school, it was such a wonderful blessing for him. I know it will be so helpful to have our Heavenly Father look after him as he takes a new big step in his life. After much prayer and fasting we are very confident in the decisions we are making for Gage. I have to add a cute story about Savannah. She was so excited for school that she woke in the middle of the night and got dressed for school. She realized it was to early and hopped into bed with Gage. I woke up at 5:30 to get Remi ready for Scout camp and she was fully dressed in bed...silly girl! She just loves school and was so excited to be going back today. I remember feeling the same way about school, I loved it as much as she does. So it is just London and I today...it will sure be quiet:)
