It's hard to believe that this little girl is a big 2nd grader!!!! Along with the 2nd grade has come a little bit of forgetfulness and a whole lot of success. My heart just about broke for Xiana when she found out she was not going to be in the same class as ANY of her friends. Also, she did not get the teacher she so desperately wanted. She was good about it commenting on how she'd make new friends anyway. I was very proud of her. And, as it turns out, being in a class without her friends has been a wonderful experience. Also, she LOVES her teacher, and I've been very happy with her also! Without being in the same class as her little BFFs I feel like she's less likely to get swept away in the ongoing exclusion that takes place (already) among her friends. Though she still loves her friends and plays with them at recess, she seems less inclined to have her feelings hurt by being left out than she was when they were all in the same class. Also, she's branched out and made new friends and has been the top of her class which is a place she thrives. What a tender mercy! It just goes to show that what we want for our kids and ourselves isn't always what would be best for us!
