Today was the first day of 4th grade. She's so into sky blue lately as her favorite color...as you can see. She was also rather blue in spirit unfortunately.
She has been so anxious and nervous about starting 4th grade. Not so much about being one of the smallest kids in her grade (though that bothers her too) and not over not having all her friends in class with her but about not keeping up. About not knowing her times tables. Not doing well in her classes. It's hard to comfort your child completely when you know there is a basis to her fears...school isn't easy for Bailee and likely never will be. But here's hoping her blue period is just a color phase.
