Holding On

I pulled Shelby out of kindergarten on Wednesday, so she is staying home with me for one more year. I am still not sure if it was the right thing to do. I was rethinking my decision on Sunday when she was doing a first grade spelling workbook during Sacrament Meeting without any problem, so I know she is more than ready academically. But then she cried when it was time to go to her Primary class, so I am not sure she is ready socially. Anyway around it, she no longer has a spot at Lowell so she is going to spend one more year going to Preschool and CostCo with me! And I am happy to have my friend home with me for one more year!

What a stressful decision! Well I'm glad that she is available for some playtime with Collin...if we can ever get together!

Over the years I've come to the conclution that when it comes to my kids my gut feeling is usually right. It may not be the popular choice but it is almost always the right choice for that child at that time.

I think it's a good choice. but she is really smart so who knows maybe she'll skip a grade.

Well you know that's what I would have done. You will LOVE the time you have with Shelby this year and she'll definitely be ready all around next year, so enjoy the fun!

I've been wondering what you decided. Tough decisions! I'm glad Isaac isn't advanced in any way, it makes the decision pretty easy for me!
