A day in the life of the Gee's

just started up(a few weeks ago) volunteering in collin's class. just half an hour, once a week. it's been pretty cool so far, mostly just cutting out & laminating things. the cool part is there's only 8-9 kids total in collin's special ed class, so i get to see how collin is in the class with interacting & when they do their little group work. best of all, it's helping collin's mommy separation issues!

his teachers made him a little book before i started coming, all with some pictures they took. 1st page says something like "sometimes mommy comes to my class, and i can say hi mom". the 2nd page says "she sits at a table & works." the 3rd page says "i keep working." the 4th page says "then mom leaves & i say bye mommy." the last page is "i stay at school. i will see mommy at home."

anyway, it's a pretty cute book. they sent an extra copy home just for us. he almost has the whole thing memorized and has no problem saying bye to me, though the last couple times he left to lunch before i left the class.

andrew comes too. he seems to enjoy himself there. last week, i told him early that we were going to collin's class & he cried the whole way home after dropping off ivy to school(collin's bus comes first before i take ivy to school) because we had 2 more hours before it was time to help at collin's class. i think it has to do with they have some thomas train stuff in the class that we don't have at home.
