Cicily's last day of first grade was last week. 1/2 of her friends in her class are going to other schools next year. When I found out about this, I was very sad. Cicily doesn't really have friends her age outside of her school class. These 8 kids are amazing! I've been blessed to see them interact with each other for the past 2 years. They communicate mostly nonverbally - through touch, smile, and gesture. Mostly they seem to communicate spirit to spirit. It's pretty remarkable to witness. So I asked Cicily if she wanted to make a special present for all of her friends and the women that take amazing care of them in class. She was totally excited about the idea. So we got a picture from the day Daddy taught her class about archaeology and one of Cicily's favorite scriptures that describes every child in her class. Then Cicily had fun choosing a color for each person and painting their wooden blocks.
On the last day of school Sophie and I took all the blocks to Cicily's class and she got to hand them out. She absolutely loved it! I got to say goodbye to all her friends and give them each a hug. I didn't even cry too much. I hope they all end up in good schools that will give them the care and opportunities they deserve.
