"a portrait of, and quote from my children, once a week, every week, in 2015"

Jackson & Lily: Great student led conferences on Thursday followed up by lovely comments from both teachers. My kids are doing great in the classroom and well liked by all. We were even told that both kids are leaders with their peer groups in school. We feel very fortunate for sure! However, regardless of all the goodness we heard, Lily's anxiety seems to have peaked this week making it tough on all of us. Her teacher expressed some worries about her - she asks to leave to the bathroom a little too often. We worried about a UTI but tests came back normal. As I mentioned last week, she is a big mixture of extremely shy around certain people and crazy awesome with others. Our family fills her world with love and support but it`s hard when you know she suffers. She`s not really one to wake in the middle of the night but has been this week. We are working hard to get to the bottom of her stresses as we feel there is definitely something bothering her right now in a big way.  It`s been a challenging week so sadly no quotes this time.
