Parenting has been going as smoothly as possible for us. Sean is a joy and has made our home feel complete. Right now I have a driveway full of sidewalk chalk drawings and LOVE it!!!!
We do need some prayers for wisdom. Sean is acting out in school. We are trying to discipline him while still emphasizing our love for him and his permanence here. We would appreciate any prayers you can send our way in that department.
Meanwhile, we had an IEP (Individual Education Plan) meeting for him on Friday. We sat down with his special education teachers and got some very good reports. He is making progress. All of his teachers report that he is a much happier child since coming to live with us. However, we are planning to have him repeat first grade next year. While he is progressing, he is just now where he should be at the end of kindergarten. Since his birthday is in the summer, holding him back will be easier. We hope that this will give him the head start and self-confidence he needs to succeed further.
This Blog is going to be about our journey to and through adoption. Our desire is to keep you updated with our progress, so that, if you feel led, you will know how to pray for us.

We will definitely be praying for you guys as you seek wisdom to give him the structure, love, support, and discipline he needs.
I think holding him back is a very wise decision based on what you're sharing. As you know, we held William back (with his late May bday) and he is thriving. We feel like he'll do much better as the oldest in the class as opposed to the youngest.
We really need to get the boys together and let them play!
