Chloe, with some trepidation, moved up to 1st grade last Tuesday. She hasn’t looked back and loves every minute of it. The teachers told us she was ready and I guess she was. She wasn’t so sure, but everything seems fine.
She was anxious Monday night – afraid that she wouldn’t like it. She cried a good bit about it and even the following morning was still emotionally unsure. I talked to her and told her to give it a try. I told her if she didn’t like it that we could talk about it Tuesday night. The only conversation was about how great it was. It’s a done deal.
She did say something funny to me late last week about it though. She said that at the end of the year her class mates would move up to 2nd grade. She said she thought she would stay with them and not skip 2nd grade. I kind of laughed. She doesn’t realize it isn’t that common to skip a grade and even less to skip a second time. I told her let's worry about getting through 1st grade before we worry about that.
