Friday we stopped by our local public school to see which teachers the big boys got.

Thing 1 got Mrs. R and his best friend K is in his class! Apparently they had so many GATE kids that they made 2 classes and he is in one of the GATE classes. That is great, as we were trying to get him into GATE, but his test scores were skewed by his slow processing speed.

Thing 2 has Mrs. S from last year. If he stays at this school, that is great, because she is a wonderful teacher.

We don’t know if there is a spot in the Waldorf school yet.

He and I are going tomorrow to sit in the class and check it out. We should know by Tuesday if there is a spot. This way we will know for sure if we want it.

Thing 3 has a spot for him in the Kindergarten class and I am 99% sure he will be going there. It is just a matter of meeting the teachers on Tues or Wed and getting the papers filled out. I just feel a bit in limbo until we know for sure what is going on with everyone.

But I have gathered information, fasted and prayed and my intuitions says that the Waldorf school could be a great fit for our kids and family. If Thing 2 is meant to be there a spot will be open for him. If not, then maybe next year!

How is this Birth Related?

Staying flexible is what kept me sane.  I didn’t know where this was going to lead?  I am a planner and in some ways this could have driven me crazy, but in order to stay sane, I had to let it go!  I had to be flexible and go wherever this leaded me.  I also had to have faith that it would all work out the way it was meant to.

I remember when I was trying to change care providers in my 1st pregnancy.  It was stressful and it was a few days of chaos and not sure how it would all work out.  Staying flexible, positive and having faith it would turn out the way it was meant to, helped me then too!
