LCCS = Awesome

I think we have had a break through. Jairus had a great week at Pre-K. Now, that is not meant to imply that he has had bad weeks before. It is just that this week he was excited to go to his classroom. Both mornings at drop off, I got him settled and then said, "I'll come get you after rest time. See you later," to which he replied, "Bye, bye mom!" No tears, no clinging, no fussing, nothing. What a joy is it to walk back to my classroom and know that he is content.

On Thursday his teacher said that they are finally starting to see his fun personality because he is becoming comfortable with them. She also complemented his knowledge of the alphabet. :) Kudos to leapfrog letter factory!

At home he shares little nuggets of what he is learning at school. He was proud of the apple tree picture he brought home yesterday. Today he and Joe were talking about zero. And my favorite is when he sings the "Jump for Jesus" song!

LCCS is just a great place for Jairus. Actually, it is a great place for our family. We are so blessed. God was so good to us when he led me to LCCS via an Internet search 8 years ago. I had no idea that this little school would truly become family. I was reminded of that today when I attended a memorial service for an LCCS family member. I sat in tears as I watched my students, co-workers, and families demonstrate being the Body of Christ. What a privilege to be part of something so big, so eternal, and so special. I am glad I work in such a place and I am even more thankful that Jairus will receive part of his life education in such a place.

Special thanks to the LCCS yearbook class for the pictures. Yep, it is nice to have connections! :)
